What are you looking for, how much do you have to spend? Obviously you want something that will handle the torque, but what about pedal feel and longevity? Are you looking for super quick shifts, a super stiff clutch, and replacing the thing after about again after 10k miles? Then a 6 puck or 4 puck is for you!

If you want to go ***** to the wall, get a Giken twin disc, it will last longer, handle whatever the **** you throw at it and have the lightswitch clutch effect.

For the price though, I recommend a ACT stage..... well here: http://banzai-racing.com/store/86-91..._flywheel.html

Or..... FREAKING SEARCH YA NOOB!!!

If you are not beating the **** out of it with 350 hp then the regular Z65-HDSS by ACT is more suitable if you dont race the car and its a DD driver.
If you do beat the **** out of the car occasionally like racing on the weekend, then a 6 puck unsprung will suit your need.
Both kits supports 380ft tq, no rotary will make that much anyways unless 450hp+

Unsprung has NO place on a vehicle that runs mostly on the street.
