Best Clutch For the $$$?? Ok, well i'm getting a TON of new stuff for my car (forged internals minus crank, new cam, pulley etc) b/c my piston rings decided to crap out. SOOO i come to find out that my SPEC stage 3 after 30k is toast. I have been VERY easy on this clutch (my stocker lasted 50k of solid ABUSE). I dunno wtf is going on and why it crapped out so eary.... but either way i need a new clutch.
I've heard good things about RAM, but at this point $$ is a big factor b/c i'm already gettin over budget. I have a flywheel, so all i need is the actual clutch. I'd like to get another Spec maybe, but if i can find one equal to it for cheaper, i'm in....
What do you have and how much?
(btw, car will see some racing, and alot of DD)

I with you...I am considering a SPEC Stage 3 or a Ram powergrip...
I'd just like something thats gonna last, take a beating and have a close to stock feel....
TTT for ya!

dude... 30k is a great for an aggressive clutch like a SPEC 3. Consider yourself lucky. The more aggressive a clutch is, the less mileage you'll get out of it... that's a fact.
I don't plan on my new clutch to ever see 20k miles, let alone 30k.... just not the nature of these things.

I would try th RAM VDS with the 980PP for daily driver. Because I almost got the 910 but FURAL said to go for the 980 because I drive my car daily and will be doing track too.
