Default What clutch???

I had a Spec 3. Its basically gone but should i go back to the same clutch or something different. Im new to this so i really have no idea. I bought the car with the clutch in it and i liked it, just i dont know much about it. Any info would be great. Also when replacing clutch, what all do i need to buy a whole kit or what???
Thanks

The only very minor problems I have had with my 2 Spec Stg3's are the Really loud squeaking sound when clutch is cold( thats awsome when your in a neiborhood or people watching), and the monsterous chatter that can and will spill any drink within 2 blocks.On my 1st stg 3 I got 6K Miles, with no track time one of the springs broke out of the assembly, and my current Stg 3 has 2 track passes on it. Thats my experience with specs. But, I have friends who like them.

I run the RAM 6130 Clutch, and it is pretty decent.
However, I do recommend the Spec 3 clutch.

It's your choice..

Get the clutchmasters clutch kit.
No chatter, even during break-in period.
Drives like stock.
Pedal stiffness is same as stock.
Grabs really good.
I was told it should last no less than 30000 miles.
I have 11000 miles in it already, and it still feels great.
