Default Exedy VS ACT clutch Question?!?!

I am looking to upgrade my clutch and flywheel setup! I have pretty much made up my mind that I am getting the ACT Prolite Flywheel, but I have a choice to make when it comes to the clutch to mate with it. My first choice, is the Exedy Stage 2 clutch. Since I am NA with bolt-ons, the 342 ft/lbs torque rating is probably ideal, but I dont know if it mates well with the ACT prolite, in addition I haven't really seen many reviews about this clutch, there seems to be plenty of reviews for the stage 1 and JWT setups, but noone seems to have stage 2. My second option is the ACT HDG6 6-Puck Sprung clutch, this seems like a great clutch and I know it will mate well with the flywheel, my only concern is whether it is overkill for the current state my car. I am kinda curious what the communities opinion is with these two clutches and how they work with the ACT prolite! Thanks

I LOVE my ACT clutch. I have the 6 puck sprung with the streetlite flywheel and its really not bad to drive. It also holds 19 psi like a champ!

I have the ACT Streelite with Exedy Stage 1 clutch, love it! Flywheel can get a lil noisy after beating on it for a while. Also upgrade your clutch line to stainless steel.

not sure what "overkill for the transmission" means. It's still quite easy to drive, just makes a touch more noise than the streetlight. However, it also is lighter, and revs a bit quicker. I've used both, and either one is a great choice

As far as the clutch, the Exedy or ACT std HDSS would work perfectly well - ACT holds considerably more torque, but is more expensive than the Exedy.

An Exedy + ACT flywheel would make a very nice, more than capable, economical setup
