Which aftermarket clutch

Riceball777 · 01-19-2022, 06:08 PM

i'm right at 500whp and i been ruuning my spec stage 2+ clutch with a new oem flywheel for about 30,000 miles not. Drive 100% as good at stock. but its probably not strong enough for your power goals.

Just a warning, I had a Spec St 3+ clutch for around 30k miles and it got completely burnt by the end. Never abused the car or launched but was running 700 whp.

Pulled it off and was incredibly surprised the car still drove at all. Now I'm on a spec twin disc.

Maybe at your lower power level, it will last longer? Still, be gentle I guess.

if I can get 30k miles of abuse out of it I'll be happy. It's a performance clutch I don't expect it to last as much as an oe

To be fair, if you were 700whp, thats probably what, even more torque? Isnt the Stage 3+ rated at about 650wtQ?

I ordered the spec stage 3+ with a steel smfw. I think it should be okay with the current power goals I have

Our goals are the same and so is the clutch. Mine will be in with the new turbos soon. Hopefully it goes well for both of us

Clutch just came in holy crap the friction material is so thin. Clutch is exactly 1cm thick, the clutch face is 2 mm thick and 1mm at the wear bar
