I am looking into getting a spec stage 2 clutch put in my s4 na , was wondering if anyone is using one in there car and their opinion on it ? My main concern is how long its going to last before i'll need another one.

I used one in a turbo Miata than ran 8.11 in the 1/8th. Held great. Highly recommended. It'll hold any amount of power you'll throw at it with an NA rotary (short of a p-port Cosmo )

i had a spec stage II in my 91 turbo and it was perfect, never gave me any trouble at all.
ran an 8.18 in the 1/8th with it.

was thinking of maybe going with a act clutch kit instead for 25 bux more...but donno yet, i think the act would last longer ? im not sure which is better lol

spec stageII lasted me over a year of constant reaming and slipping it from the clutch from 7000rpms at the track

really? mine just got installed yesterday on first gear it gives some chatter sound upon disengagement
, i wonder if it is normal for a newly installed clutch cause im breaking it in right now

What is the friction surface on the disc?

carl, the spec stageII is a kevlar disc.

FCmania, are you sure you have a spec stage II? any sprung hub disc style clutch shouldnt be chattering.

FC_mania

yea sprung kevlar disc. its just chatter a little off the line on 1st gear and if the rpm go above 1500 then then sound will be gone.

clocking 25miles with the clutch only at the moment =)......my mechanic told me its normal and after awhile it will be ok. hope thats real.. =)

Carl Byck

You are probably being too tentative engaging the clutchor youer RPMs are too low, bring the rpms up a little more, and slip it, you should be fine.

i just bought a spec stage II! putting it in this week. the surface feels like cardboard but smells like angle grinder wheels.

FC_mania

yea post more review of your spec clutches. =)

thanks carl byck , i will remember your advise

spec stageII is the best clutch i've ever had.

PoderRotativo

I got mine installed a week ago I only have 100miles on it and Im shifting at 3k or 4K The most. AM I doing it right or im pushing it to hard ? I really want to braek-it-in properly

FC_mania

i didnt take any chance , i shift at 2500-2900.......=)

PoderRotativo

Ok im goind to start doing in it like that I hope is not to late

driftseshrx7

i just got a used spec II with about 1500 miles on it, and im putting my rb lightweight flywheel in at the same time i hope it works out good. the spec II is blue right?

FC_mania

i would think all spec clutches are blue just that different stages has different disc on it.

while breaking in the clutch do u guys rev match when u shift down? cause i notice if i dont rev match mine , it has the shudder feeling and chatter sound.
