Default clutch life

I know it depends on what type or driving, but what kind of life can be expected for various clutches?
Mainly Im looking at the Spec 3 or Ram, maybe the textilla
would the upgrades (4, ram hd) have a longer life?

car is DD and occasional track

I just put the ram power grip hd with 910 disk in mine. Only have a couple hundred mile's on it. Hope i dont run into any thing like that. That is one of the first bad stories I've read about the ram.

I must agree with Conan. I have the Ram Power grip kit sitting in my car as we speak just waiting to be put in.

Mine is stock with almost 78,000 hard driven miles. Time for a new one. Not a Ram after reading this thread.
