Default Need some Help...Not real familar with clutches

ok, I am just about ready to replace the clutch in my pretty much stock engine 2000 ws6. I am not real noligable when it comes to this, I am more of a suspnesion person myself. So I guess its time to learn.

I have done some searches and still confused and looking for some answers on the best clutch for me. The car is stk now however I plan on some mods very shortly, def heads, cam and intake etc.. MAYBE a nitrous shot somewhere down the road. I looking for the best application for me that I can also add some mods with and still work good for me. I havent gone to the track much but I plan on that changing soon. I apprecaite any info or help!

Im very happy with my spec3 I have had it for about 200 miles now. Mine doesnt chatter it did for about the first 20 miles now its pretty quiet. Pedal feels close to stock but the clutch grabs hard. My car close to stock too and I feel I made the right decison.

Where could I purchase a spec 3 or what site sponsor would carry one to look at?

Thanks for the reply

lmperformance has a good deal. i would purchase a stock flywheel, if you can, and have it resurfaced. it's not necessary to buy the flywheel that comes with the spec 3, but it will cost your about $200 extra to obtain.

Well i went with the Spec 3, it seems to be the best for my application and everyone here seems to have great results with it.

I ended up buying if from thunder racing, after that I read tufflucks post to find out LMperformance is $22 cheaper shipped, o well, thats what I get for not looking around enough

Thanks for help everyone!
