i've got a spec 5... not super driveable especially with a big cam, but the thing has tenacious grip!

Elky, we offer a number of stages and I am happy to provide a recommendation if you can let me know a bit more about the car. Are you making 600 at the wheels or the crank? You mentioned above that it is a daily driver, so I assume that you would rather have something that has smoother engagement for street use. Though our stage 3 is rated to handle your torque if it is slipped in an effort to induce smoothness it will wear faster than other full-faced discs like our Stage 3+ or even our Hybrid Stage 2+. Thanks,

Contamination can certainly cause a clutch to slip. Whatever you decide make sure that the leak is stopped and the bell-housing cleaned before installing a new kit. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks,

I had the stage 2 spec in for years. just finally got to the point of where it needs replaced now. I going with a stage 3+. great reviews for this clutch and from what people tell me, very driveable on the street with lots of grip.
