Stage 5 is an unsprung iron disc??? I bet thats got some real nice engagement to it

On a side note, I've got the SLP PP/disc, that PP is the same as the one that SPEC includes with all their kits correct? The SLP is the lightened LT4 PP. I'm thinking of switching out the stock disc for one of these, I don't think it's going to last a lot longer.

If you drive your car on the street at all, don't get it... I had a stage 3 ceramic and it was like having an on/off switch. I can't imagine what an UNSPRUNG puck style iron disc would feel like. It just makes me writh thinking about driving that thing. It only meant for big launches on slicks, not driving.

REALLY?? is it that bad?? cause i know how some people have different opinions about whats streetable and whats not! some people will say that the comp cams 306 isnt streetable and me the 306 is a lil woosy cam

so its not really driveable you say? just cause theres no slip? what do u have to like rev it up a lil and then release it to go? is it easier to stall the car with?

The Street Twin may cost more but it is a much better VALUE. First, the Street Twin drives almost like stock with no chatter or engagement issues on the street. Second, it includes a new billet master and a new flywheel. Third, it's proven and very few people regret buying one. But if you are one of those people who like to run race parts on the street and put down others who don't like to lose drivability on the street, then this is the perfect setup for you!!

In all fairness towards him, really, some people do not consider a Stage 3 clutch a sacrifice in drivability.

I drove my friend's Stage 3 ceramic, and it drives like stock to me.

Stage 5, on the other hand, probably would be.
