How long is a Spec 3 carbon supposed to last? I have had mine for 25K miles or VERY abusive driving and it still grips like a ****! 
Is that normal? It has never slipped once. I did however use my own pressure plate vs the Spec PP. Would that have anything to do with it?
I am going to take it apart soon and check it out.

Just shoot SPEC an e-mail and they will answer your questions....just give them about how much power you have, weight of your car, and how you intend to drive it.
