Default Act flywheel and clutch question?

I have a VQ swapped 240sx S14. It's just about done and running. I have not driven it yet but very soon I hope.
The Question. I have a ACT street lite flywheel and the matching ACT 6- puck clutch with the springs. (They make it with and without the springs.) Does anyone use this setup on the street? Would you do it again or would you reccomend a full disc rather than the 6-puck fo the street?

6 puck will be harder to drive on the street. Especially if you have the unsprung because thats more directed towards competitions, but you don't have to worry about that. I hear that they're a lot more prone to breaking though.

I have the ACT streetlite flywheel and exedy oem clutch. I like it and find no issues... 6 puck wouldn't be fun for a daily driver though.

I have the stock flywheel with the ACT sprung 6 puck. Everybody told me how hard it was going to be to drive daily. But most of these people have never driven with a 6 puck and are purely speculating. I love mine and once it gets warmed up you can’t really tell the difference. You’re gonna want to stick with the sprung if you have a welded diff. I’m assuming you’re going to be drifting this beast. Are you gonna be out at FIR on the 21st. I’m the retard in the silver Z with no front bumper.

Thanks to all of you for the input. No welded diff. I have an S15 helical limited slip in a Q45 housing with the stock 3.54 gears that the Zs come with. No real plans to drift it but who knows. I might catch the bug. It will deffinately see some track days. I was a road racer for 20+ years in the Northwest before moving to AZ 10 years ago. I might be able to make it out on the 21st. If I do I'll look for you. Thanks for the advise.

I've driven a 6 puck before and honestly for the street I hated it. Any kind of stop and go traffic I wanted to get out and just walk....
