Ok I have decided to go with a Spec clutch when I do my TKO500 swap in a month or so. The problem is I don't know which Spec clutch would be best for me. My mods are in my sig, and I am planning on getting an SC-Trim this winter. I drive my car on the street pretty much daily in the summer. Which Spec would be best for me? So far I'm edging towards the stage 2, because :worship: Rick91GT recommended it.

I have a similar combo to you. I went with a Stage 2. I like it, I'm just afraid that it will end up killing my T-5. THat clutch does not like taking off slowly very much, a lot of jerking.

Does the stage 2 have good street manners?

My Dual Friction is awesome.. great pedal feel (lighter than my stock clutch pedal), grabs at the top, and it slips easy - very streetable!

Would a Spec stage 2 hit too hard for a TKO500?

I think I'll be going with the stage 2. I hope I have no regrets.
