Thanks

Re: Please recomend a cluch (explain why) Re: Please recomend a cluch (explain why) why does everybody want the kevlar? its the last one i would pick from spec, i'd prolly put a ram in front of a spec kevlar..
i reccomend the s3 carbon or ceramic, but would prefer everyone get a s4 because it is a stronger design.
i have one because i had a stage 3 carbon and liked it fine and it was time to upgrade for the new motor/turbo to hold 600rear wheel..
i asked the guy (rob raymer) what to do about a clutch he said spec stage 4 ceramic is working awesome and holding 680 rear wheel torque so i decided that is the one for me... and no complaints. it works just as smooth as a spec stage 2 but no silly things to break on the insides <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
also, you can pocket the $200 you would have to spend on an adjustable master cylinder that you have to get for every other decent clutch out there.

Re: Please recomend a cluch (explain why) Correcion,
It is the carbon I am looking at. I keep hearing that you will still need the ad. mc with %90 of the SPEC clutches.
So how many SPEC users do we have that did not need the adj. mc? I have found the stage 3 for $499 can any one beat that price? We have alot of guys out here in Norcal looking for a dependable setup to handle 375+ rwhp.
Thanks every, one I don't want to be doing this every 2-3 months.
Keep the feedback comming!!!

I keep hearing from all the vendors that the stage 4 is way to aggressive for a daily driver! Thats the ONLY reason!

Re: Please recomend a cluch (explain why) Some of the old version specs had some problems. I don't think any of the new ones haved showed any signs of that. I just got a stage 4 and I totally love it. Holding up to 460+hp on the bottle and like mightymouse I'm on stock hydraulics.

Re: Please recomend a cluch (explain why) I run the RAM 6130/402 with Mcloud master.Peddle is stiffer than stock.Has held up real good so far.I murder my clutches by slipping them at 4500-5000 off the line on street tires.This clutch has never failed me yet.
