for the most part, clutches are like tires. the better they perform, the less time they last.

Well My spec stage 2 just came in the mail. I'm very tempted to send it back and just go all out and order a centerforce because I have always heard so much better on them. Anyone have a suggestion or comment to this? Also if I do send it back they will charge me $80 bucks for sending it back..

The SPEC Stage 2 is almost exactly like the Centerforce as far as power handling. However, I had a centerforce and a spec, so I'll list the pros and cons.

Spec grabs great, but a little heavier, but great pedal feel.

Centerforce is extremely light! But, will wear sooner and doesn't grab as well. The pedal might get a little spongy after heating up..

500 miles and no chatter at all going forward. Reverse still chatters, but no bad... I absolutely love this clutch now. I went through three gears full throttle. The result: a 200 ft. dark black burnout mark.
