Its gonna grab hard and there wont be as much slip as you would probably like to start off from a stop on the street. Just saying. Thats why i said go centerforce.

+1 on the Centerforce, there is nothing quite like them. Great pedal feel, very streetable with great holding ability. The spec is gonna feel terrible, sorry to be blunt but my car came with one and after one day of driving it around town I wanted to take the car back. Spec's are chattery heavy clutches that are not very user friendly, I will never ever waste money on their products, good luck though man some people say they like them for some reason.

not true, i have a spec stage 2+ and i love it. little bit heavier pedal effort but i like a heavy clutch. its a new clutch so just learn how to drive on it for a while and it will be just like stock. ive mastered my clutch and it is smooth as butter on takeoffs.

Everyone seems to like the + stages better than the actual stage it is. Like the cobra guys like the spec stage 3+, but not the stage 3 itself. I'd rather run a centerforce or mcleod before i'd run a spec, even though the spec would be a lot cheaper probably.

The Spec Stage 2 does not chatter or anything. My buddy has one in his and we installed it in his garage. It has never chattered once and it is not that heavy at all, and it actually very streetable.
