Need some feedback on SPEC clutches...
I need a clutch and came across Spec Stage 2 on Rx7 store. What do you guys think abou it? I did some searching and i found some info, but that was before ACT came out.
ACT seems to be more expensive then SPEC and I don't know really the difference between them.
Thanks.

I run the stage 3, sprung 6 puck. No problems at all. For a 6 puck it is pretty damn streetable. I also got the lightened pressure plate option, where they drill a bunch of holes in it

As suggested by Bryan from BNR I sent out my 5000 mile old M2 clutch/flywheel to be modified by SPEC when I decided to make power. They modified the pressure plate and made a new clutch disk and resurfaced my flywheel. I absolutely love it. Pulled a 1.8 60 time first time at the track with it and have had it in for about 5k miles with my new setup. No complaints easy to drive and I have a light flywheel which makes it harder to take off from a light -the car is my dd. I'd highly suggest buying one from the rx7store and the guy from spec told me it should last a long long time ~80k miles easy
I had mine made to hold 550ft pounds of tq

Thanks for all replies guys. I really don't want to go with 6puck for now. I'll probably get a stage II.

Yea, my friend and a couple others a I knew that all owned S13's/S14's would use the SPEC clutches because they were cheap and they all said the pedal felt soft and unresponsive.

Spec
Maybe SPEC worked okay for other cars, but o 240 forum I saw a thread the clutch EXPLODED on the SR20DET. From that pt on everyone stayeda way from SPEC.

I had a spec in my 240. Pedal pressure was extremely soft but it was very streetable and I never had any problems. My roommate has a spec stage 3 in his FD and I hate it. It grips hard but i just don't really like the pedal feel at all. I prefer the ACT S/S in my FD.

Hey Rich, for a street driven car with my mods... Is a stage III good choice? I'm planing on going single in about 3-4 months, But it will be daily driven... so I don't know if this 6puck combo is good for street driving. Also does Stage III with 6 puck give you a little harder pedal feel then stock?
Thanks a lot.
