Default Who has a Spec stage II+ clutch in their car

I have a Spec II+ and Steel Flywheel in my garage waiting to go into my car, but then I have heard a few horror stories about this clutch so I wanted to know who has it and what do they think?

How long have you had it?
Who did the install?
What type of Flywheel did you use?

Thank you in advance!

I'm kicking myself in the @ss for not listening to the masses before I got mine. You always think that your car will be different....

I'm running the Spec Stage 3+ and used the stock flywheel...just had it machined and had a certified installer do it. They did an amazing job and I personally say go with the Stage 3+ if you could, but good choice on the steel flywheel and not the aluminum! Is there a break-in period with the new flywheel from Spec...or is that just with the stock clutch? Shift for 500 miles of city driving and then let em rip if it's got a break in period...

If you get the 3+ get the low pedal pressure option, from what I have heard the 3+ without it is pretty stiff.

The Spec 3+ doesn't have that much of a difference...if any in pedal pressure...the 3 has a different amount of pressure though...
