Default B16 Clutch Question

Ok i have a ClutchMasters FX500 stg5 4puck clutch kit. I believe it is a unsprung clutch. When car is cold and when first engaging the clutch it make a back schreeching noise which is very annoying and embarrassing. I was wondering if i change the clutch to a STAGE 3 SOLID 6 PUCK CLUTCH will this fix my problem.
Is that a good clutch??

Also would it be wise to put in a stock replacement clutch? or should i get the stage 3 solid 6 puck clutch. I need to know seeing as i want to change it saturday.

Also if you know a place to get a clutch at a reasonable price please let me know.

Go to a sprung disc. The unsprung is for race use only. It makes for a very abrupt engagement and is tough on the drivetrain.

Ya guys. I don't plan on much. Maybe 200hp but nothing serious. I was told don't use a pucked clutch. And that stock clutches are good for up to 300 hp. So I might go with stock. Is that cool?
