Why not a stock clutch? It's pretty damn good.

It doesn't like to be slipped a lot like I have to do with my DRs. Plus I launch my car quite a bit and just want something that is gonna last longer.

 

I have to agree with the poster. If all you're doing is daily driving, the stock clutch is fine.

I work mine pretty hard, and I'm paying the price for it (got a major slip the other day @ 42,000 miles).

 

I prefer the feel personally of a tough clutch. To say that a SPEC 3 is on/off then there must be a problem. You should try a sintered iron clutch. You probably didnt set up the clutch right or the machinist took too much off the flywheel. A spec 3 should be just a little tougher than stock. I have noticed that clutches that engage later tend to be harder to control. Mine engages on the floor and I love it.

 

I've had Spec Stage III for 2 years. I drove it daily in stop and go traffic for over 1 year, no problems. Several trips to the track, launching at 4k on slicks, no problems. Still drives great on the street. You should think about the Stage 4 because it will be stronger without the springs in the hub. I hear it drives just the same as the 3.

 

It all the descriptions it says the the stage 4 is pretty much for track use only because it has a stiffer pedal feel. If it drives the same as the stage 3 than I would pick up the stage 4 if it is going to last longer.

 

AFAIK, a stage 4 would not drive anything like a stage 3. Tougher disk, no springs, stiffer pedal....... not saying that you cant use it for the street, because everyone has different opinions on "streetable"

IMO its better to get a clutch that is too much than one that isnt enough. But, you wont need anything more than a spec 3 unless you run some serious power.

 

I won't be making huge amounts of power for at least a couple of years and by then I should have enough money to buy whatever clutch I want. Sounds like I will be going with the SPEC Stage 3.

 

Stage 3 is agood choice, if you do alot of racing though i'd say stage 4 but they do start to suck in stop/go traffic. But then again any manula tranny does ...

Now I just have to see how much money I get this week. Thanks for all the help guys.

 

I will never again buy a spec clutch with a sprung hub. I just ordered my stage 4 on friday, only because I got it for under 1/2 price. They gave me a deal because I bought one of their crap sprung hub clutches, and it failed.

Id go with a stocker before I went with another spec stage 2/3. The ONLY thing spec has going for them is their customer service. Ill admit thats good.

Im going to be driving my stage 4 in bumper to bumper city traffic too. We'll see how it goes. I only drive it once a month or so anyway.
