I'm having a Spec II / Lightened clutch put in as we speak. Can't comment yet on the perf. but can tell you that Lindsey racing was my source for purchase...Wow! what a great company and Dave is a great guy. Took time to chat and rushed an order to me, receptionist there is also top knotch. Was very pleased with them.......Give them your money!

I also went with a Spec Stage 2 clutch from Lindsey and a lightened factory flywheel. So far I been really happy with the clutch, but there have been some reported problems from other users with clutch chatter.

I don't know if it matters or not, but I was very careful to follow the "easy 500 miles of stop and go city driving" break in procedure that is recommended for the clutch.

For me, the clutch pedal pressure feels close to the factory unit, but the clutch does grab a little more than the stock unit and it doesn't start slipping when it gets hot.
