Default SPEC STG2 Clutch and Flywheel Installed!

I also did the rear main seal and Steeda Cable kit. The clutch grabs like a mad man and the lightweight aluminum flywheel helps make rpms pretty quick. I definitely would recommend this combo to anyone. I cant wait to get my gears and eaton in to real see what this clutch is all about.

so is the clutch as good as ive always heard? Is it hard to drive with or is it still okay for regular street driving?

absolutely. it grabs in about the same spot as my stocker did but just alittle more aggressively and the pedal requires alittle more leg. other than your left leg getting a little extra of a workout in bumper to bumper traffic, regular street driving wont be a problem.

congrats man, thats awesome. I assume STG2 is stage 2 right? thats the one i was thinking about getting, or the Zoom HP, but i heard that engaged rather agressively. I dont think my clutch is stock, it can get pretty have with lots of stop and go, so i dont mind a lil extra efford, i actually prefer a slightly heavy clutch. I felt a stock '95 Cobra clutch in our showroom and i was like wtf is this, so i assume mine's aftermarket. Do you know how urs feels compared to the King Cobra? Thanks.

I have drivin both the king cobra and the spec stage 2 ( my car came with king cobra and recently we put a stage 2 in my bros stang). The king cobra grabs nicely...but the spec is much more aggresive. The spec is still manageable for daily driving though...and it really pulls when u want it to.
