Spec IV == Spec 3 unsprung.... you could always get the new Spec 3i , it's supposed to handle more than the 3.. I know the disc alone is like $100 more, and teh pressure plate is supposed to be a little stronger

As angst911 said.. The SPEC 4 does not have spring dampeners... Makes the clutch more like an 'on/off switch'... The kit is the same except no dampeners so the power handling is not increased.

The SPEC 5 will handle more power, and it is actually somewhat streetable but depends on your definition of streetable

SPEC 3 or 4 will handle 700fwtq... SPEC 5 will handle 900+fwtq

We have some awesome deals on the SPEC stuff right now give me a call at 516-779-2330 and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Matt I ordered the spec three from you a few days ago, I thought shipping on spec products was free?
