Default Clutch

Changing out my clutch, anyone have any suggestions on weather to go spec2 or more aggresive for my 02 ws6?

That would depend a lot on how much power your making, and what you use the car for.

Need a lot more info man. Mods? Daily Driver? Plan on doing the Tick Adjustable Master Cylinder no matter what clutch you get.

I got a monster clutch and tick master cylinder for my car. Absolutely love it! Like they said earlier, the right clutch depends on what your goals are.

I second the monster. A friend has it, loves it. Hard bad things about the spec clutches. Ls7 clutch holds up good. Also, you should look into the remote bleeder line if you haven't already. Well worth the money. Good luck

Unless you are going to make stupid power or run a sticky tire the ls7 is a great clutch.

I got 112k out of my stock clutch and I have 90K on my ls6 clutch... Going ls7 clutch next. Stock drivability is a must and the factory stuff seems to do really well without odd problems I see people complain about with other clutches (chattering for example).

+1... on the Tick/monster setup, mine drives better than stock.
