Its fun. But you'll probably spin the tires the first 2 days without trying. Where do you live? If you don't live in Los Angeles like I do then I don't see why its a big deal. Its gonna be a lot of fun. But hey why are you going with spec? Competition clutch makes great kits and a little cheaper. I haven't heard one complaint on them

i have spec stage 3 clutch and billet flywheel. Makes stop and go traffic driving a pain, and a little reverse chatter as well. Overall nice clutch, but there are cheaper alternatives.

I've had my eye on those competition clutches.. I haven't head anything but good things about them. I read they are a much more streetable clutch because the are not "on" and "off" style clutch, but more like a stock type of feel while being able to hold good amounts of power.
