Just put an RPS stage 2 in mine, definatly not a clutch for sissies that whine about their leg because the clutch is stiff, it sure does grab though, a real neck snapper!!

It all depends on how much power you plan on making. I have a Southbend clutch and it's been fine for 2 years with 15k miles and many drag launches but that is with about 400rwhp. But When I switch I'll be going with a clutch from Aaron from driftmotion.com, they are a vendor here and stand behind their products. I believe that is what Suprahero is running right? Correct me if I'm wrong. But the ACT will hold up well.

There have been numerous threads about the Spec Clutches failing. Go with the driftmotion.com clutch and you'll be happy!!

I am in the same boat, I need new clutch too. I was using spec st 2 (kevlar). Its supposed to last forever. Last about 10k on mine. It drove fine until I made some mistake doing burnout at the track.

I had a SPEC stage three and loved how it grabbed, until it exploded/failed in the exact same way that many others have encountered. I will never use a SPEC clutch again.

it's an na...don't waist your money!...I went with an act disk "fullface" and an oem aisin pressure plate....works great...putting a performance clutch in an na supra is like putting a wing on a civic.
