Special Tool can speak from first hand experience from driving my car and Teds too. Overall, the Spec 3 with (which I have) is "ok". It is very light on the foot, but the trade off is what ST said. I agree with him 100%, it is hard to modulate. You need to get used to it, and sometime it still shudders. In hindsight, I would have gone with a KEP instead. I'd take a stiffer pedal (I'm use to stiff ones like in Ferraris) with much easier modulation than the Spec 3.

Hope that helps.

plus a heavy clutch pedal will help you keep your foot of the damn clutch when it really shouldn't be.

Im actually talking about the disc, I am already planning on a KEP pressure plate but I need to find a disc that can handle the vitesse race settings and 20+psi...

Get a copper/ceramic with springs.
David Floyd has the link to the place that sells it.

i'll agree with ST on the spec clutch being hard to modulate, i don't care for it.
