The guys on that board hate the Spec clutches for whatever reason, Matt chime in and give this guy what he needs.

I love mine. It's a little touchy on the street but you get use to it. Pain for other people though.

Had the Mcleod and hated it.

I recomend the Mcleod twin disk. It's just as smooth and easy to drive as the stock one.

Any stronger than stock clutch can suck in traffic, but you get used to it.

I personally do not like spec clutches, I have had one in my car and I hated it. I would go with a Mcleod clutch but that is just me. This is just my opinion.
