Any reviews from personal use? I'm in the market right now for a 212mm clutch for my 20v. Only have driven on a stock clutch kinda want something little more aggressive in a daily driven way.

max is a very good friend of mine. but, i will give you my honest opinion on his clutches. OS Giken, IMO are the best clutches. i'm sure many would agree on that, but, a clutch and flywheel combo runs about $1200-1300! a 200mm illegal garage clutch and flywheel combo runs for about $400-500 which is my second favorite clutch. it is the best priced clutch for an ae86 and the "smoother" feel of an OS Giken to me is not worth 3 times more. exedy is also good, which i have now. i bought it with my engine and before i ever tested it i sold my illegal garage clutch i had in my other car. i kind of regret selling the other one instead of this one because it had a softer pedal feel yet it engaged with a "perfect" balance of gradual yet with a nice bite. i have heard from friends that IG clutches will outlast an exedy, we'll see. ask me in a couple years and will give you my finds. lol.

Haha thanks for opinions. I think i'm going to buy one because he said he can make custom orders. Kind of feeling a 212mm 6 puck sprung.

OS Giken is beyond the borders of the state of pragmatic tuning for me. I'm sure IG offers a great clutch but my next clutch setup will be a SPEC to support NST and also to see what SPEC is all about.

Just checked out the NST site and that was exactly what I was looking for. The Stage 3 is a 6 puck/ sprung with a price that's very good.
