ACT Clutch Kit, Which Street Disc? Options

[elvasoshexai]

My clutch is going and i'm planning to get my 5sfte done this summer...
I want to get my new clutch in b4 the turbo install..

i've been lookin @ ACT clutch kits w/ the street discs and i can't decide which to get.
Heavy Duty Pressure Plate + Stock Street Disc
Heavy Duty Pressure Plate + Performance Street Disc

Apparently the Modified Street Disc isn't available for our cars (which is the disc inbetween stock and performance) since nobody ever bought one or something and they stopped making it... and only sold very few performance street discs

ACT recommends the performance disc for turbo application, but there's a few ppl running the heavy duty pressure plate + stock disc for a while now.

i've never driven a car w/ a performance clutch before so ofc i'd like it to be as smooth as possible. so i'm kinda worried a performance street disc might be too much? but at the same time i want it to last... and i think the performance has more chatter?

the difference between the 2 discs should just be engagement smoothness... but i've been told that it would also affect how fast it wears...

and then the other difference is the price... performance is like $80USD more than stock or something...

waht do u guyz think?

i have the 5sfte with the act performance pressure plate with the street disc. it's rated to 250 which is right in my range. engagement is stock and foot pedal is the same i love it. i have this with the fidanza 10 lb flywheel.

ive had the HDPP and stock street disk (didnt know they made a "performace" street disk) in the car for over 2.5 yrs now, almost 2 yrs with the turbo.
pedal is a little stiffer than stock, but not hard.
since ive been turboed, ive been at least close to and for most of the time way over the 250ftlb rating, and ::::::knocks on wood::::::::: ive had no issues with it.
im planning on upgrading the clutch at some point in the not too distant future, although to be honest, im not really sure what ill be buying. i have been set on getting a spec, but with some of the strange failures ive been seeing latley, im still up in the air.

ya, i remember asking u about it b4... and u've had no probs for 2+ yrs which was why i've been thinking should i go for the higher end one or not

it's just the stock disc that comes with the kit. it's the pressure plate that is after market
