I have used nothing but the spec stage 3, pedal doesnt get soft under load with the n20, usually lasts me 12k miles with a lot of racing and some street driving. But if your looking for a good street clutch with good driveablilty then id say go with the Ls7 set up.

how much does that clutch cost? where do you get one? issues with it? whats the life expectancy of one? why is it better than the ls7 set up? what makes it better than the 3 i listed at the start of this thread?? i still need driveability..and it has to take stupid launches from time to time..hehehe...

^^Well you will probably want the Ls7 set up if your going for driveablility, and it will take a good beating as well, the spec is a different clutch set up all together its an on/off clutch and really nothing in between and slipping the spec will kill it fast, mine lasts usually 12k miles with some heavy driving and racing, pretty much any sponser on here carries it as well as the ls7, i purchased mine from speed inc., just check everyones prices i guess but sounds like the LS7 will be a great choice
