Installing a clutch pack in 97 Evo. Kit is BDL Original clutch kit. Comes with 4 double sided fricton and 2 single sided friction disks. Anyone know the stacking order for this clutch?

I thought there were 8 friction disks total.
Contact BDL, but id guess the two one sided would go on each end... friction side facing the steel disk. But they could go on either side of the spring plate, again friction side facing steel disk.

Check their website, as many brands have installation instructions available. I haven't come across any such set-up.
