Default which clutch???

I have to buy a clutch and I want to buy a spec stage 3, but I am hearing some people saying that an ls7 clutch is better, than the spec 3...which would any of you recomend, I make 390rwhp plus a 100 shot, don't go to the track much, but want something that will hold up and last a decent amount of time

Stay far away from spec!! they suck and the customer support is not there. Mine went out w/ 1000 miles on it and they said for me to send it in and they will let me know what it will cost to fix. Yea, **** them.

that I don't understand, my friend makes about 430rwhp and beats the crap out of his car and he has a spec stage two and it has been doing good for atleast 6k miles so far and I like the way it drives, but I hear all these bad stories too and I don't want to be screwed out of $400. cause the clutch burns out, but now I hear about the ls7.. I want to know if it's a good clutch and could handle my power..also how much it would cost?

thanks

I have a spec 3 in my car, I installed about 6 months ago, only have a couple thousand miles on it so far but it seems to be doing great. Big improvement over my old clutch.. just my 2 cents
