Default Will i need a clutch adjuster with spec II clutch?

I getting ready to order a spec II clutch and i wanted to know if i need to get an after market firewall adjuster with it. There was a comment on the spec stage I clutch that you needed the after market adjuster or else youll burn the clutch up because the factory adjuster wont let the clutch all the way out. Is this true?

even if its not recommended you should still get an adjuster and quadrant, the stock ones are horrible. If you want recommendation on what to go with id highly recommend the fiore Firewall adjuster paired with any quadrant. The firewall adjuster is pricey but designed better than the others.

i just like the adjuster, it requires no tools to adjust it, you just turn it a quarter turn in either direction and it locks by itself. The quality is just better than others and it uses 4 bolts instead of 1 or 2. The clutch quadrant is the same as most.

thanks for the help. I went with the steeda kit that comes with the cable as well. The Fiore kit didnt come with a cable and im sure the factory one is worn.
