I was about to order a Spec stage 2 until a guy posted this in my thread on MR2OC

I had a Spec Stage 1 when my MR2 was only at 132 WHP  
After about 9 months this happened

yeah ive destroyed a stage 3 just driving it like a normal person.

clutchmasters makes good products. really good.

clutchnet is another good one.

southbend seems to be good, depending on what you go with. southbend does supply alot of clutch “companies” with product so you might have a SBC and not even know it.

spec definitely sucks, I saw one where the center hub rivets were hour glass shaped and broke in two days. Their overseas manufacturer is lacking in the quality control department.
