anybody have a SPEC stage 2+ clutch?

i am thinking about buying a SPEC stage2+ clutch and i'm wondering if anyone is running this, and how it will hold up with ~300wtq. spec's website says the clutch will handle 400tq, but i'm always weary of their claims...

anyone have this clutch?

I have the spec stage 3, altough I am nowhere close to 300hp, it is very streetable (way better than the RB unsprung disc\street strip PP). We'll see how good it's going to hold once the 60-1 goes in

i dont trust spec anymore,, i had a stage 2 in my mazdaspeed protege and i had to replace it with in 2-3 months.

I dont know if it was the clutch its self or if it was the shop that installed it wrong, but now i got a clutchmaster stage 3 in her and i love it.

I'm running the stage 2.

180hp/tq at the wheel so I'm not pushing it at all but I drive this daily and have put over 30k on it so far.

very good clutch so far. Good pedal feel as well. Not too stiff.

I am about to replace my clutch hydaulics again though.

i had the spec stage2 with the kevlar disc in my blue TII and it held about 250wtq perfectly fine. i'm just wondering what the stage2 or the stage2+ is going to do when it sees over 300 wtq
