ok so wich one would you get and why im pretty well confused here.

anyways the details

2003 msp gonna be hitting around 220-240 wtq eventually mods in my sig
i drive hard alot
i want something that will be reliable, and not too harsh on the street.
 
act's rating on torque aren't that high!!Spec gives you the best bang for your buck....IMO
 
Clutchmasters Stage IIR has held up to my Hiboost at around 240+/-TQ with plenty of abuse and is as smooth as the stock set-up. Can't say anything about anyone else except I see alot of Specs out there.
 
Anything but Spec...sorry, they suck ass...my car is the absolute WORST car to drive since installing a Spec clutch.

I agree my stage IIR has held up for more than a year and still holding strong.

The pedal is like stock, and i can do second gear burnouts with no problem.
 
Not one to brag and it may just be the good clutch but I chirp 4th if I wrap it out. That with my sticky Proxes 4's
 
so specmasters it is.... sign me up where do i find and how much? anyone know any good clutch places in Michigan. i live in the oakland county clawson area. PM me or just rsvp here if you have any info.....
thanks

Diito, i would like to know as well. My clutch is giving up on me as well. I was leaning towards the spec stage 2.

i have spoken with four protege owners who have broken spec clutches. they are cheap, but i firmly believe you get what you pay for.
 
Damn I hear alot of complaints about the spec clutches. Even from locals around here. Looks like I might be looking into ACT
 
how do u decide when u hear pro's both ways... (spec vs. act) damn decisions. does anyone know specs and prices of the two?
thanks
