Spec 3. This one seem ok?

Its brand new. Seems like it should be fine to me. Buy it now 464 and 25 to ship I havent found it cheaper anywhere else.

Re: Spec 3. This one seem ok?

Seems pretty good to me. You will probably want to get the carbon rather than ceramic, based on your mods.
Keep in mind that the SPEC3 is going to be somewhat harsh and you wont be able to slip it like a stock setup.
The clutch is either on or its off but it sure can hold.
I'd also recommend you use a Brass Bushing pilot bearing rather than the bearing, even if they send you the bearing.

Re: Spec 3. This one seem ok?

i agree with the previous post for the most part but i dont agree with the clutch being either on or off. It is absolutely rougher than stock but it just requires a little more blending than you may be used to. Im happy with it so far and the price is ok for that. PM me if you want, because I'm pretty sure the place i got mine from was definetely cheaper. I would post it but i they arent sponsors here

PM me if you're interested. I'm pretty confident you can get it for cheaper through a local speed shop here in Albuquerque.

Re: Spec 3. This one seem ok?

If I were you, I would go with Stage 4 since it doesnt have the hub springs..Soooo many people have had issues with them breaking(including me) Look in the Drivetrian forum and you will see the issues with Stage 3...Also, I couldnt tell any difference at all between Stage 3 and Stage 4 in driving characteristics...

Stage 4 owns, unless you have to drive in very heavy stop and go traffic.

Re: Spec 3. This one seem ok?

I read some threads on spec 3 failing so I will probably go with 4. I only drive it on nice days so driveability isn't too much of a concern. Thanks for replies.

Re: Spec 3. This one seem ok?

Ahh crap, I guess I'll rethink my Stage III order. My car is stock, the only thing I'll probably do to it is lid and cutout. It has to be driveable. Will the stage 4 be a bitch to drive around? I need a good compromise, not a real race clutch.
