Those GRC ones are only rated for 294 ft/lbs at the flywheel. That's lame. Those numbers can be topped even on a stock turbo no problem. I definitely suggest going up in rating by 100 ft/lbs than you plan to make when choosing a clutch for drifting. It will make the clutch life a lot longer.

"Horsepower Rating: 310 HP at the crank / Torque Capacity: 294 ft / lbs"

Pivot ball is worth it. I've seen a few snap from upgraded clutch kits. Might as well get one of those too.

After all I would seriously consider the rps,but damn this word on theyr web still fuckin my mind "Pedal feel is stiff to very stiff and engages smooth"
A friend of mine looking for a clutch too and told me about this one:
Spec Stage 2 - Clutch Kit w/ Kevlar Street Disc 395 lb-ft
Damn indecision!!!

DoriftoSlut · 07-08-2005, 03:26 AM

SPEC SUCKS!!!! It blows apart and desintegrates!!!! Even on an NA KA> Happened to a friend of mine. Fuck those clutches.

Dude, the pedal feel is REALLY good. I have the RPS, it is 100% streetable, and you are used to it after 25 minutes. Now i stomp every stock clutch to the floor wondering why its so soft.

hotrodv · 07-08-2005, 03:52 AM

Just send an Email to spl parts about shipping price for the clutch, I told him that you guys advise me about spl website..

"damn still not received reply from ziptied!!"

You're lucky. I have a shop that would give me a good price on SPEC. But they refuse to sell me the clutch b/c of all the bad experiences. Plus my friend's SPEC that desintegrated. I dunno what or how you drive your car but I clutch kick all the time and drifting puts a lot of wear on clutches, worse than anything else. SPECs hold power, but they don't withstand abuse. That's why i love RPS. It does both.

ACTs are kinda in the middle, imo. I've seen a lot of ACT get fucked also.

Oh, as another note... My friend Amanda has an ACT in her car (comparable to my RPS). The pedal feel is wicked stiff, i can't understand how SHE drives it. RPS is way easier than the ACT.

I'm sorry to sound so biased, but i have heard and experienced nothing but good things from RPS. Quite opposite, mixed reviews for ACT and a lot of negatives for SPEC.

just ordered my SPL MAX street clutch.. we'll see. how it goes..
BTW anybody know how to put it in there at home or rates for a job well done? or may be even a shop that'll do it?

DoriftoSlut · 07-09-2005, 08:49 PM

Garage Works=palmdale California

exit right off the freeway
2nd light (non working light last time i was there) turn left
down the street (slight residential area) on right will be a industrial type complex
go down that (watch out speedbumps) to very end, straight ahead, last unit.
