Say your at a red light and i have my girlfriend in the car with me. When the light turns green am i gonna jerk her head just to take off????Ive never ridden or driven a car with a performance clutch, so i have no idea. 2nd,3rd,4th....are they all gonna "jerk"
After break in mileage, and some hard abuse on a sticky track , my Spec 3 feels like stock. I actually wish there was MORE pedal pressure.

The only diff on the street is you can't idle it out. You need to give it some gas, but not a lot.

I love my Spec 3 as long as it lasts a decent time.

say when im going to make a turn and down shift into 2nd. is it going to slam into 2nd or will i be able to "slip" it in.
In other words, will it still be a comfortable ride for my girlfriend???

It grabs a bit hard, but if you rev match it, piece of cake. You should be rev matching anyway to save the life of clutches (when you can.)

I rarely downshift anymore to decel. Clutches are too expensive.

A stage 3 should be FINE in all aspects of driving except for 1st gear take-offs. If you don't give her enough gas she will chatter a bit. Once you learn it, it will be fine! Any more than a stage 3 will be noticibly different!
