So the LS7 clutch kit doesn't come with a new slave? Or do I have to get the OEM 01/02 slave? What about the hydraulics? What is the master and what does an adjustable master do?

Hey guys, I was told awhile back that they don't even make the earlier model slaves anymore. This was awhile back too.

Is there a clutch that is under 600 and can hold a lil more then stock power and last as long as the stock one? My car needs a clutch it has 58,000 starts grabing at top of pedal now and i figure its not slipping yet but i better start saving. i dont want a clutch that only lasts 15k miles that sucks, i dont go to strip alot roll raced a couple times.

I just installed my spec3+ with a fidanaza alum. flywheel. I Like it alot. the pedal is alot lighter than I thought it was going to be. It feels almost stock. It grabs fast but its very streetable. I've only got 100 miles on it so far, but so far Im very impressed! Kinda funny how this thread is named "Spec3+ vs LS7" and I just swapped from and LS7 to a spec3+.
