Are you planning any horsepower mods? If not, I'd go with a Z06 clutch. That's what 01-02's came with from the factory (I still have mine), pretty good clutch for a near-stock application IMO.

well i would say that the zo6 clutch would suffice, but if i was going to get a bit more power then i might consider the spec stage 2. as for other mods, you dont need them but they are always a good idea. i would consider the 01-02 hydrolics and at least resurfacing your stock flywheel. anything else is your choice

I think there are going to be a lot of people bitching about that last comment. I have heard soo many people say that they love their spec II and III clutches.

My spec 3 had 4K miles on it and its down to the rivets. I just pulled it. I won't buy another one.

Sorry don't mean to hijack. Get a Z06 clutch you will be happy with it. Some of these aftermarket ones are hit or miss and that aint cool.

my spec is out after 7k and 6 months...been to the track once...i just ordered a RAM powergrip...lets see how this one holds up with the resurfaced flywheel. If it doesnt do well, then im going with the zo6 clutch and be done with it!
