Give these guys a call mate  http://www.gripforce.com/  

I\'ve ordered 2 ACT clutches from them now and they get them to you within a week.  The last one I got in 4 days!!!  Their website is poo but dont let that put you off.  Good prices too.

I just bought a 6 puck/pad sprung.  It is quite harsh, gear changes are not that smooth but i\'m still getting used to it.  Its not noisey at all and not that heavy.  I got it as I wanted it to put up with the abuse it will get drifting.  For what you want, ie not drag racing or drifting, you may be better of just getting a normal organic type? An uprated one (not a 6 puck)  I had an uprated Exedy in mine last time, cost about £500 fitted IIRC, it lasted for quite some time, various track days etc.  I\'m running 320ish atw.  Only killed it when I started drifting in it.
