Carbonetics twin - quiet (my car is loud and idles high though), streetable - its OK around town with just a bit of grabbiness, holds power - or did, but I may have cooked it now, but I bought it used and have many a dyno and street pull on this one.
I will most likely rebuild and turn it into a triple disc setup. The only downside I have found is that if you get stuck in an accident or heavy traffic and the clutch gets hot it will become very grabby - basically instant engagement - and is very embarassing to drive like that.

I had a Clutchmasters single sprung FX400 and it held fine but a couple of weeks ago it broke, one of the springs broke off, the clutch disc surface and flywheel looked great.
New clutch is the twin disc OS Giken, I am still braking it in but it holds nicely and engagement is stock like as well as pedal feel.
Another clutch I just saw at SEMA is the Spec, it looks like a nice unit, but have no personal experience with it

10K miles finally gave in ....200+ft-lbs tq more than it was rated lol....(probably at 725RWTQ for roughly 4K miles.....thats 900+b TQ......and lots of dyno pulls, and we know how much clutches love dynos lol)
I'll recomend this to anyone in these ranges (btw, I did for stylin z, and vr3....they went 6 puck though...like I should have)..
talked with bwicked today.....you'll be getting a call in feb when I finally do the clutch...and yes for the modified version, same he got!!!
AGAIN everyone, you really can't touch this clutch, holds as much as all but 1 twin disk at 1/6th the cost!!!!!!!!

YES!
I dragged the car (not well though, never had the right combo of tire and traction lol), aggressive driving (my car is basically a toy).
Never got to a drag day, but most driving for me is track-style (I used to manage a porsche race-team, and its hard to break that lol)
