I've narrowed it down to either Cartek or Spec III ceramic. I've done a lot of researching and haven't really come across anything bad about either, and have read lots of good about both. There's no such thing as an inexpensive aftermarket LS1 clutch, but I can get either of these for about $800 including new hydraulic's (which I need for my '98) and flywheel - still much cheaper than some others out there. The Z06 setup I have in there now lasted about 25k miles, but it's breathed it's last thanks to a final track visit on Nitto's last year before storing it away.

I've read the ceramic may be a little finickier in daily driving with a bit more chatter, but supposedly holds up better at the track.

So, with all that said, any and all input appreciated, especially if you've had first hand experience with either setup. Any glaring deficiencies I've missed? Words of wisdom, etc etc <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I just put a Spec stage 4 in my car and it is my favorite thus far. Still breaking it in but no chatter yet and VERY easy to drive in traffic ( compared to my previous sintered iron disk clutch ). My friends Cartek clutch chatered bad and was toast after 5k miles ( not saying this is typical, just that was his experience ).

I am runing a stock resurfaced flywheel and a Mcleod adjustable master, with a new slave. We will see shortly how this thing holds at the track as soon as it is fully broken in.

I am really impressed with the driveability thus far on the stage 4, I expected it be harsh like the iron.

Spec has greast customer support and I would recommend buying the clutch through www.thunderracing.com

save the cash with the spec and get the stock fly resurfaced for like $40.

Wheres the cheapest i can buy a stock flywheel at? I have already resurfaced mine twice and its pretty much done for the new (probally) spec clutch going in.

The car will see many more mods over the next year...anyone else with a stage 4 on a daily driver?

I will be putting in a stage 3 carbon in my car soon and am debating between getting a new flywheel or resurfacing my original stock flywheel. (Bought a new flywheel the last time I replaced the clutch, so I have a spare lying around)

Will the resurfaced flywheel be fine with the stock master cylinder? I'm pushing 375-400rwhp N/A and have a 75 shot of spray that I use occasionally.

My resurfaced flywheel and the Cartek set-up is working flawlessly with zero clutch chatter.
