Unsprung clutches are a bad idea for street use, it will make the car jumpy like that.

Got a six-puck unsprung and love it! (Except when I'm next to cop @ a stop light and trying to ease the clutch!)

it took about a week to get used to mine. Works fine. jsut have to slip it from a stop if you don't want to chirp. not a big deal.

I bought an ACT 6 puck unsprung hub and extreme pressure plate for my SR20/240 but I don't have the car back together now. Thinking back I might have gone a little overboard (the F'er will hold like 450 ft/lbs and I've heard ACT is conservative with their ratings). I have a friend who's slipped his street disk a few times so I decided to go with the 6 puck.
