I do like my copperhead disk.  I dont side step but the clutch does have \"give\" to soften the blow to the trans.

I'll try my daiken superdisc one of these days but my copperhead did give me a 1.51 60ft.

Yup,

I do like the copperhead and it apparently has a less aggressive bite than a super daiken. You might consider either disk but sometimes you might want a slower 60ft if it saves your 1st gear from grenading.

Dont get me wrong but there are alot of big boys using the cheap daiken disk. Cost factor wise the super daiken is a great cheap disk. You can almost buy 3 daiken disks to 1 copperhead.    

I'll try the daiken perhaps next year but my copperhead disk I'm using is about 5yrs old with aprox 15000km's on it.

would the daiken or copper head work for strictly a street car.
engine is a 2007 have no pressure plate or clutch yet.

Russ i would think a stage two with a copperhead would give you the best of both worlds..  ;)
