Spec II or III? I currently have around 380-400 hp, but will be getting to the 500-550hp range very soon. Which clutch is for me? I have been told the spec stage 3 is hard to daily drive with. Is the II the same thing?

I'd say go with the SPEC 3. From what I've read and what's been recommended to me the SPEC 2 might be OK for what you've got right now, but once you make that jump in power the clutch probably won't hold.

I've had 3 spec III's and only one worked. I put down 527/605 to the wheels at the time. The clutches eaither work or they flat out don't. I would'nt mess with a spec II if you are going to be puttin down 500-550 like you said. Spec III's drive like a stock clutch accept a little chatter. My girlfriend, who knows nothing about cars, didn't know the difference between the stock clutch and the spec III. If you go spec III, you must, I repeat, MUST break it in for at least 500 miles. If you don't, you WILL be replacing it.
