Default SPEC stage 2+

So now that all my parts are on the bench I examined my TRUSTY KC clutch and looks as if it didn't fare to well with my mishap and the line lock issue I had at our last outing at the track, smoked the flywheel friction plate on my fidanza alum flywheel, so friction surface will be getting replaced and although the KC clutch is usable, it's disc material is getting low , expecially after smoking the crap out of it...so I was recommended a DFX clutch but not sure if I want a grabby clutch, I like the idea of the spec stage 2 +...anyone use it or have any reviews on it???

i have a spec stage 2... it grabs amazingly... but its really stiff.

I've had people being skeptical about it being the stiffest clutch i've ever felt till they drove my car.

I love it though..

but then again i have nowhere near as much power as your car is putting out.

well i'm used to it... but centerforce from what i understand is much lighter, and just as good (if not better) than the spec...

I weigh 140 and don't really have a problem with it... but i just love driving my car so ha.

yeah its the stock quardrant in my car.

the Centerforce is supposed to be around stock pedal feel.... even tho I dont know what a stock 5.0 clutch feels like, owning both the CF and the Spec, the CF does have the lighter pedal, and I relly do like it, especially in traffic...
