my question to u is what are u going to be using it for. a 3 puck clutch is for Drag racing with A LOT of horsepower. and unless u are gonig to do mostly track driving, and puck clutch will rape!!! u. Try getting a Street/Strip FULL DISC, it will wear more normal, and should provide enough grab for anything under 300 WHP. The ACT HD clutch is awesome and it is good for up to 300 HP. i think a 3 puck is a little overkill on a d17, ull probably break axels before the clutch will spin if u have that much power.

Never daily drive a puck clutch, they are made for racing purposes, and will be to agressive for dity driving. They will also wear A LOT faster. Get a disc.

You need to do a little more research on the Exedy 3 puck. They are designed with a sprung center disc and a weaker pressure plate. The stage 2 cerametallic is fine for daily driving.

The Exedy 3 puck is not a seriously strong clutch. Its a 3 puck to reduce weight.

EXEDY offers two types of cerametallic clutch discs, normal thickness and reduced thickness. The reduced thickness (thin cerametallic) discs offer greatly reduced inertia to improve shift efforts, make for faster shifting, and improve synchro durability. These discs are approximately ½ the thickness of a stock disc.

Normal thickness (thick cerametallic) discs have better heat capacity and therefore better durability in demanding applications, such as all wheel drive. Even with the normal thickness, our three puck cerametallic discs still have less inertia than a stock disc.

With any cerametallic clutch system, there will be some compromise of start up driveability as compared to a stock clutch (chatter on light throttle, low rpm start up). This characteristic is generally felt to be acceptable in modified performance cars. Drivers of cerametallic clutches on the street should be warned not to "ride the clutch" to try to reduce the chatter as this will greatly increase the wear.

SO i dont ride my clutch now. other then that it sounds fine. you just feel the start up a lil more then stock.
