Too heavy as in I should get a 2900 or just stick with my 2600PP and a 4 puck solid hub?

Too heavy as in pedal pressure on your leg. If you don't mind the feel of the 2600 then that will work.

Wierd I've always heard people saying there 2900 was way heavier than there old 2600. With the more clamping force I was guessing u need more leg power to disengage it. My 2600 is not heavy at all IMO.

Yeah, I know. Logic would suggest the 2900 would be harder to push, but that isn't the case.

I can vouch for the pedal feel being the same, just went from a 2600pp w/ street disc to 2900 w/ unsprung 6 puck.

That's good. I'd hate to have to relearn a new pedal pressure. After a year the 2600 is fine for me. It's normal cars that dog me now.

Well my act decided to die on me yesterday. 16g and a little less than a year she died. It was not dragging or anything. Failed at wot shifting to second. I'm so tired of these crappy cars. My oem clutch lasted longer.

Im not positive what broke but I shifted to second and released the clutch (at WOT) and it was like I was in neutral still. Car wont shift into any gear and makes noises when I push the clutch. It goes into a gear but when releasing the clutch I get noises and no movement at all. Dont want to hurt it anymore so I'm going to pull it out and see what happened. Damn cars piss me off, should not break on such low power.

Then when I went to tow it some dumb asses broke into my passenger window. Jacked my $20 stereo and a $400 laptop. Tore the car apart too. WHEN IT RAINS IT POORS!!!! Im going to just burn my car, LOL.
