Spec Stage 1 clutches

[indierthanthou]

anyone have any experience/opinions on these? I figured out that to buy the OEM clutch kit with all the other stuff that should be repaired (rear engine seal, tranny seals, etc) from bav auto figured out to be a little less than to buy the stage 1 spec clutch and the other parts separate. Is the extra $50-100 worth it for the stage 1 clutch, or is it just a waste?

Spec makes questionable items in the high horsepower market. We have had several of their Spec Stage 3 - 5 clutch setups fail.

I am using a ClutchNet.com product right now - 6 puck ceramic solid hub with Stage 3 (highest) pressure plate. It is rated at 650+ ft lbs of torque. They do make OEM replacement and "stage 1" type setups. Go to their site and check it out - they are also CHEAP.
