my dad has a centerforce duel friction clutch and he really likes it alot. i have a spec stage 1 in my car and it is fairly easy to drive, it is a little aggressive though, but not as bad as a stage 4

Default clutch recomended

hey man i just bought a spec stage 3+ and my car is stock except for minor bolt ons, its great and easy to use. quick engaging of gears and soft on the peddle centerforce is good but has its ups and downs seeing that most centerforce dual friction clutches , the shims seem to move or fall on them making them not engage correctly .. but its ur choice on what you want right.

I have spec stage 2. I used to have a CF dual friction which I liked so much more. I drove a friends camaro like 2 years ago with a spec stage 3 and it was just like mine-grabbed really hard. Great if all your doing is racing/launching but, sucks in everyday stop-n-go traffic. The spec on mine grabs really hard and makes it tough to drive smoothly. I figured it would be a little better being a stage 2 than the stage 3 or 3+ that everybody seems to have. I was wrong. I will be in the market for a new clutch again long before this one wears out.

I dont mean to bash the product here... I simply figured out after the fact, that it isn't for me since this is my daily driver.
