No idea, but I've come to find that some of these clutches aren't worth a crap. I replaced mine about 10-15k miles ago with a SPEC stage one. It did ok until recently, but it burns in reverse sometimes, and now it's starting to go into first hard. The throw out bearing has chirped like a bird at idle and low rpm for most of the time its been in there. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet, but I might have to research clutches to find a better one that can handle the rigors of a daily driver (ie: traffic jams, etc.)

did you get a firewall adjuster ? Because of the stronger clamping force that the spec has
in my case it is not needed i have something else that I can´t find out

Yeah mine chirps most of the time, but it you barely push the clutch pedal and put some load on it, it stops. My shop said they are just like that, it shouldn't give me trouble over the noise. But no, I have no firewall adjuster.
