Default Spec 3X vs Spec 3?

What is the difference between the Spec 3 and The Spec 3X? What is better for a mostly street use w/ some track time?

The normal Stage 3 is the X-Pad. Carbon + Ceramic mixture. Holds 700fwtq.

The other Stage 3 is F-Disc. This is a sintered iron disc. Holds 850fwtq.

We have them both in stock ready to ship.

SC093 Stage 3 X-Pad $400 Free Ship

SC093F Stage 3 F-Pad $510 Free Ship

SC75S Steel Billet Flywheel $225 Free Ship

Unless you are hitting it with nitrous or plan on going past 500rwhp, I'd stay with the X-Pad.

Thanks, Matt. I'm planning on getting the clutch from Slowhawk, so I'm sure he is getting it from you. I know that's where my Kooks came from.

Dave, Don sold me on the 3x in my car and I love it. Feels pretty close to stock, has great street manners and holds great at the track! I went with the billet FW too...

Hey matt... How is the SPEC stage 4 iron or ceramic compared to the SPEC 3 Carbon/Carbon. I didnt have great experince with the SPEC 3 before and the Mcloed is slipping on my car now. I need a clutch for daily driving and some hard launches on the weekends with a heavy car 3800lbs and holds 750rwhp.
