Default Spec 3+ & replacing the TOB?

I'll be replacing my stock clutch with the Spec 3+ clutch kit. I'm wondering if I should replace the TOB while I'm in there. I've read several other threads on line and seems that the stock one holds up fine. In most cases they seem to have problems after the replacement of the TOB. Just as a side note most threads I've did not post how many miles are on their cars. My car only has 36K with very limited hard driving. Any feedback you could provide would be great.

I have the Spec 3+ in mine with the low pedal requirement and at the time of install I had a new slave cylinder installed as well. It's been working great for the past 7k miles. Just make sure you get the flywheel resurfaced or install a new one. I had the spec billet steel one installed in mine.

I had that installed in mine since I was having my engine built for a blower so I wanted the strength of the 3+. Unfortunately I still don't have a blower on the car.

I always replace the TOB while I'm in there. It's no extra work, and only a few dollars. Replaceing it later is a pain.

I also use the Ford part. That one has the best reputation; I'v never had a failure.

I will be having a new slave cylinder on hnad just in case. I will be going with a new OEM slave.
