Default What Clutch Now?

well as you may have read in my other thread my spec 3 checked out with 6k miles on it. i have absolutly nothing good to say about spec. with that in mind. what should i go with next? i am thinking either the LS7 or some textralia clutch.

as of now i'm just under 400 at the wheels. and more will certainly be in the future. anyone have any feedback and/or prices on any of the textralia clutches and/or the LS7 clutch?

i need help fast because i'm going to order a new clutch tomarrow or tuesday. anyone know the best place to find these? i've searched the sponsors. byunspeed is the only place i've found an LS7?

I think T-56 rebulds has the LS7's also. I would say your price range dictates what clutch you get though.

You may want to change your installer this time around, too.

well the first time i had my spec put in. the dip **** at the trans shop didn't balance it with the flywheel...and it vibrated like hell. so i took it back out and had it balanced and machined. i've never had any luck with someone else working on my car. so i do all my own work now. i don't see any reason why the spec 3 came apart due to how i installed it.
