Default Spec II

I need a new clutch real soon, just wondering how you guys like your Stage II Spec clutch. As far as my mods go right now I know it's a bit overkill, but I do plan on getting the MPHMongoosekit one of these days. Probably later rather than sooner. Do they come with quality Throw out bearings, or should I buy something better. That is my main problem right now is the TOB. It's making a herendous noise when it's cold. And the clutch is starting to be unpredictable at 50k miles. Well, tell me what you think, I always like what you guys have to say. Thanks

Don't get a stage 3. Mine is barely driveable now.

spec makes a great clutch, but their TOBs are crap so use another one from somewhere else

That's too bad, I was hoping to make around 400 HP eventually and no one is giving suggestions. I am starting to give up on this forum.

stage 3 is for like a freakin all out drag car, very few applications NEED one, youll hate yourself for getting a stage 3 if you plan on driving in nice weather or crusing, or god forbid you get stuck in traffic, i gotta a buddie with 450+ rwph 2v and he has NO problem with the stage 2, and its not even much more stiffer than my stage one
