Just got the Spec Stage 2+ put in at Brenspeed yesterday and............Oh my god what a difference. I could not be any happier. The clutch holds more power than the 2, yet, the pedal feels lighter than stock, and it drives just like stock as well. The way it engages is just indescribable. It engages much smoother ( zero chatter ) and yet quicker than the 2 did. When you shift and let out on the clutch, the engagement is so quick and precise, yet smooth. I had the matching Spec flywheel put in as well. The engine runs smoother than I ever thought it could. If not for the sound from the exhaust, I wouldnt know the car was running. I just cant say it enough, this clutch is awesome!!! Thanks again to the guys at Brenspeed for another job well done. No other shop Ive been to comes close.

Cool deal, man. Putting a check in the mail for SLP LTs and catted X as well as ordering a Spec 2+ and a firewall adjuster after I post this and you're making me feel better and better about my choice for the clutch. Was going to add the low pedal option but from what you're writing it sounds unnecessary. Happy for ya and thx for the valuable info. Ain't the innanet a wonderful thing!

I just got my new trans, alum flywheel and spec stage 2+ in, and i love it! Its so nice to have all 5 gears again! The clutch is awesome! It has a light pedal feel with NO chatter. I swear it revs as fast as a bike now, but you do have to give it a little more gas with to pull out, i guess cause the flywheel is lighter. The only problems is the clutch cable either stretched, or there is a slight "height" difference in the new parts. There is now slack in the cable and it disengages right off of the floor. So i guess im gonna have to get a firewall adjuster.

Definatly get the adjuster. I just had a Fiore adjuster and quadrant installed and man what a difference. Clutch engages after only about 2 in. of pressing the pedal. Feels nice. My Stage 2+ came in but haven't had it installed yet. Doing that at same time as LT, catted X install since it's a pain to do with the LT already on. When you get the adjuster, if you pay someone to do it, it does take a good 2 hrs so expect the labor charge.

If you put the clutch in your self, prepare to have fun with the starter bolts!

Nope, I have one mechanic that treats me good so I let him do all my stuff. I'm still watching and learning. Thx for the warning though.

Well you'd be falling in line because I got talked into it, lol. Have a question about the install but starting a new thread for that one.
