IMO, save up some cash for a Monster clutch. I bet mostly everyone here will agree.

I have a SPEC 3 and love it. I've also heard good things about Monster and Diamond. Lots of good info on the board...

As they say...opinions are like...well, everyone has one. You can find countless supporters of the Stage 3 (and our other kits on this forum and others). I am confident that you would be happy with the Stage 3 especially if you are looking for a clutch that will provide greater capacity and performance. This unit will provide a more crisp engagement than our Stage 2+ or 3+ due to the discs pucked design. Will the car see more street use or track use? Let me know and I can provide greater details relative to recommendation. Thanks!

I do agree SPECs are nice though. I really enjoyed my SPEC Stage 2 in my 97. Aside from when I needed to have a disc replaced under warranty, and they forced me to purchase a new disc outright..

if your planing on that kind of power,and dont want to deal with any issues,then do it once and get the monster stage 3,it will take anything you can throw at it,and they offer better warranty and service,as evident from the above post
