i have a spec stage 3 and it is my daily driver. i love the feel may be a little stiff to others. the 2 will be nice and firm but wont be as stiff as the 3. i dont have any issues driving it everyday but thats me. the 2 will give you what you need and the three will be more reassurance when you get up to that much power.

If you plan to stay around 400 WHP I would definatly recommend the 2. Espcially since you are not going to be drag racing the car alot I don't think you should go with the 3 due to all the pedal effort.

Not to mention that almost everyone that has a stage 3 spec sees at least a little chatter, even with a new flywheel.

dont really know what was wrong with it. first trip to the track it starts slipping again. i eventually had the clutch pulled out 5 times and the flywheel surfaced 3 times before i got tired of it. no matter what i did or where i took it to; to have it looked at no one could come up with an answer. the place i bought it from would not warranty it and i just got the spec.

I have a Centerforce Dual Friction and I think it is awesome. I live in philly and the stop and go traffic si a b*tch. The clutch pedal is just as easy as stock. I probably only have around 390 rwhp but it works well for my application.

i do all my work myself. all ive ever done is work on cars, and thats all i do now. hell i am in the process of trying to get my shop opened up by this spring[sm=happy046.gif]. i know that i do screw up from time to time its inevitable, but 5 times? i am better than that. ive taken it to 1 of 2 shops i trust and still the same results.i did the spec and not a damn problem. ive read some other forums and some people have had problems with theirs also.i dont know what happened but i do know i wont buy another and that i wont recommend a potential problem.
