Default anyone with a spec 3 clutch how long did it last ?

Ive had mine for a little over a year and I put about 15k miles on it and I think its starting to slip. You can really smell it if you are getting on it through 4-5th gear.

Stage 3: 15k miles, about 40 track passes (all but the last 10 on street tires) and still holding pretty good. Can't smell it even after I made 3 passes in 20 minutes.

my first spec 3 lasted 35k miles and numerous 6600rpm launches at the track.

Currently have a spec 3i behind a 408 and it is holding up good so far on the street.

my first one lasted 6 months, the 2nd one lasted 2 months, ran the car on slicks and destroyed it on the 3rd run.

Just killed mine last night. It lasted 18k miles, one year and put up to 451rwhp. I did alot of racing on that clutch. Each trip to the track was 4500 to 5000 rpm launches and at 10 runs a night.
