So its time to chang my clutch out. I was wondering which setup I should go w/.

what I have now:

A.C.T HD clutch w/ OE style disc
Fidanza 8lbs Flywheel w/ steel insert friction plate

I was thinkin of trying trying out a 6-puck w/ Sprung Hub
mainly for its durablity an rapid cool-down feature

Type of driving going to be done:

Auto-Xing, Aggresive back roads, an some track time.

Lookin to hear some of you guy's testamonials

Brands?
Styles?
Etc?

Thanks,
Kitt

Every ACT that I've driven I didn't like. But then again, that was mostly due to the pressure plate feeling so vague. So if you used a different pressure plate...it might be OK?

I have a 6 puck sprung on/off switch (exedy hyper single). I really really love the clutch over all. It is noisy, however (chatter, panther like noise when starting from a stop, buzzing on decel, etc.). It's also very harsh and difficult to drive before you get used to it. Once you're used to it, you're golden. I use my car for track time often and I semi-daily it in the summer. I really don't drive in a lot of traffic...it might get super annoying if you were in stop and go traffic.

The Exedy hyper single is out of your price range, however. By like....$500 or more...and then you have to buy a TOB for $100something more.

In the $700 range, I would go for something full faced and sprung. It's better to buy a milder high quality clutch than a low quality crazy clutch. I've always been really impressed with Exedy. The S2000's stock clutch also seemed to deal with abuse really well. A stock replacement might not be a bad idea. Or maybe something like a stage 1 or 2.

I'd also get a chromoly flywheel. Aluminum warps much easier. The hyper single came with a 9.5lb chromoly flywheel, IIRC. My Si also has a 9.xlb chromoly flywheel. The S2000 revs up incredibly fast because of the low inertia of the clutch (which is also cool because to shift, all I have to do is tap the pedal down about 1'' and it's completely disengaged) and the lightness of the flywheel. The Civic has a full faced exedy clutch and it does rev up a lot nicer than stock with the 9.Xlb flywheel.

Chromoly is a little heavier, but more more durable.

I paid $719 shipped new on amazon. Exedyspl gets 30% off exedy products

You got a hyper single for $719 shipped? That's a hell of a deal. You sure it was a hyper single, though?

If so, then with the additional throw out bearing, you're at $800something. Not bad.

i was going back and forth on a few clutch option and decided to go with SOS due to the fact that they claim no buzz or weird noise at idle or engagement.

Price wise, they are 1k vs competition clutch was 700. This is for everything, flywheel, disc, pp, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing.

I'll do a complete review once I have it installed and broken in
