Spec does not make the I disk anymore. It has been replaced by the F disk. Go figure. I orderd a stage 4 yesterday.

I got the new spec 4, I guess it's te f disk, whatever the iron friction mat'l is. It's a 6 puck design. Really no chatter, and grabs damn good. I'd go with a Spec 4, whatever they are doing now.

The F disk is an upgrade to the Stage 4. I think you need to specify the F option to get it.

I dunno, I paid 875 bucks for the thing shipped with the billet steel flywheel, , not sure if it is the F disk or the I disk, but I know that is was a 6 puck design, and it grabs killer good. I guess it really doesn't matter.

u wont beable to tell in the pedal really ive driven both and the stage 4 is a little stiffer but its not a big deal. i bet if you hoped in my car you couldnt tell it had a different clutch. either that or im just used to it. but its not hard at all
