better off finding someone local and seeing fi they'd let you drive it, but some people think the spec 5 is streetable...so it all depends.

I drive my Spec Stage 4 unsprung clutch on the street every day with an Aluminum flywheel. I don't have a problem with it but then again I drive it every day.

Most of the time when I let someone drive my car though they do not have much of a problem with it...(then again the only people who have driven my car all own/owned F-body's)

Why not just order a new friction disc instead of the whole shebang?
