Spec Stage 1 Clutch..Lowest Price

[Hunter-White]

I am about to order this for my 02 gt. Unless someone wants to talk me out of it. I am needing to order Very quickly so I can have it here this weekend so if someone would just tell me the best place to get purchase this for the lowest price. And preferably a place I could get a clutch quadrant. Thanks alot

SPEC sucks, search forums

go with the King Cobra, I have never been happier with a clutch.

The reason for not the king cobra is because I had one on my 95 and the pedal effort was horrific. I want to definently keep a stock pedal feel. That is my main concern.

Spec is either hit or miss.. there's been many many people on the forums with them and they chatter forever until they replace them, so i'd go with a Centerforce Dual Friction or something

 

[jasonh_86]

Personally, I wouldn't go with a Spec clutch, just for the hit or miss reason. I don't have the money to play that game. I'd like to get a King Cobra or a centerforce, but King Cobra is quite a bit cheaper so that'd be what i'll be going with more than likely.

Centerforce 1 or 2

 

[jasonh_86]

not quite sure.. just depends on your plans for hp later down the road i guess.. if you plan on gettin blown here in a little while, i'd go with stage 2

You'll hate SPEC. Don't make mistake i made. Search Forum!!! go with King Cobra or Center force!

Why does everyone say get a king cobra??? He has an 02 gt with 11" clutch. From the thread I made people said that they dont make them.

 

[jasonh_86]

i haven't found a true King Cobra for mine, altho some sites suggest it is.. not sure of it yet

You will find a lot of posts about SPEC clutches sucking, but most come from the same few that have had an issue. And then you have a lot of others repeating this info because they read it so often from those few. Read peoples sigs, it always amazes me that people will give an opinion on an aftermarket item, and they still have the stock one. Take everything your read with a grain of salt. If they were as bad as some make them out to be, they wouldn't be in business.

That being said, there are plenty of people on here, and plenty of other forums, that are very happy with their SPEC clutches. I searched around quite a bit for prices, and ended up purchasing from Cool Blue Performance. http://www.coolblueperformance.com/index.asp?PageAction=MFGSEARCH&ManfID=11&Page=1 Price was good, service was good, I would use them again.

what you said is true. I for one had bad luck with SPEC. taking trans in and out x2 in week sucks. and it suck even more if your paying someone to do it.
I myself will never going with SPEC again, unless i'm building true track only race car

I for one like my Spec stage 3. I'm not totally broken in yet, but, the chatter is fading with every mile I put on it, the pedal effort is great, and it gives a really firm bite. And, it is very streetable.

 

[Hunter-White]

Well I just got off the phone with CoolBlue (thanks lgndracer). Ordered Spec stage 2 ($310) and adjustable cable ($50). Should be here in a few days so I guess we shall find out how this turns out. Thanks for the input. Also they said if I had any problem or was not happy with it that they would send another kit.

 

[jasonh_86]

good to hear ya got one ordered man let me know how u like it and how the pedal effort is compared to stock.. i'm in the market for a clutch, but i'm in no hurry tho

 

[lightblade]

dang im too late i still have my new clutch/flywheel i need to get rid of

 

[Orions98GT]

my pedal effort changed little to none.
