Hey all,

Looking for some suggestions/recommendations on an after market clutch. I am still under warranty but I was told even though the warranty is still in affect, the clutch is still a wear and tear item which I will have to pay for. Everything else, labor and what not is covered except the actualy cost for the clutch? Sounds weird when it's bumper to bumper..

Anyway, weather the clutch itself is covered or not, I can get the work done under warranty while putting in an aftermarket clutch instead of another factory.

What I am looking for is something stronger then the stock unit but comparable to the stock units performance. In other words, I don't want to have a leg the size of Shrek to push it down LOL. The car is my daily driver but want to keep the feel close to the stock one but have something a little stronger to handle the strip or track if I choose.

Suggestions?

 

I have the Spec 3+ and the pedal is a little more stiff than stock, however it's not nearly as bad as I worried that it might be. But it may be more than what you're looking for, it will hold a ton of power but it is a little on/off. I would not do a Spec 1 or 2 though, if you're looking at Spec do atleast a 3. Otherwise you could look at Centerforce, I've seen people have good luck with those.

Best solution to your situation would be to install a dual disc setup like the GT500 has, it will hold a ton of power and has very light pedal feel BUT they cost about 2x as much as a beefy aftermarket clutch like the Spec 3+.

 

Thanks Tom
