SPEC clutches?

Post by legacy92ej22t »

Anyone ever ran SPEC or heard if they're any good? I'm looking for a new clutch, obviously, and the prices are pretty good on the SPEC's clutch/pressure plate combos.

I know they are big among the domestic car guys (Camaros, Vettes, etc.). Just don't get the kevlar clutch setup. That's what is in my 2.5RS currently and it absolutely sucks (in fact, it is being replaced by an Exedy organic this weekend). The kevlar clutch disc overheats quite easily and when it does so it is absolutely useless until it cools back down for about a half-hour or so (at which point it drives just fine again, oddly enough).

I also have a SPEC lightweight flywheel on my 2.5RS and absolutely love it. It's about 9 lbs or so and is basically the same as the Fidanza flywheel except for the ring gear and balancing which are both done by SPEC themselves.
