Stiffer pedal. I like stiff. Ive tried my buddies MR2 Turbo. That clutch is aimed at females or housecats who drive. And its a SPEC Stage 3 or something.

Personal preference I guess.

No, Stage 1 KEP is WAY stiffer than his Spec Stage 3 His clutch feels like my 951s goddamn gas pedal, and there isnt much exageration to that

Its feel and behaviour turned me off from Specs when I wanted to upgrade.

Translation.... Lart is in his Farties.

Prime of life is where I am, 20's. Old enough to know better, young enough to still be able to do it

Did I hear KEP PP G/B?

I would be interested in a stage 1 if the savings were worth it. (Not a need at this moment but will probably need it by next winter, so if the savings are better than 10% discount........... I'm in)

Well if ST and Jimbo are able to get away with a stage 1 KEP PP then that is probably what I'll go with too.

Lart what disc are you getting?

Does anyone want to call EBS and see if a group buy is possible?

ST has driven both the kep and spec PP's. The kep is is stiffer but modulates better. The spec is very on off. This really doesn't matter if your racing but for a street/track car it does. Most race setups are aggressive. You want them to be. Since most of us ride the line. It's very hard to decided witch way to go. If you want to be in the 400whp range you will need a clutch that can handle the power. I don't think you can compromise when your at this level. When you are at 350 whp many setups will work.

Pardon my ignorance, but are the 951 pull-type clutches? My 928 is: I have a brand new Saches PP + upgraded discs (30% stickier). Man, you can feel the "stickier" part: wife won't like that (hasn't driven the car yet.

I need the extra clamping for the turbo, an upgraded PP is the way to go I think. 928's have stiff pedals anyway.

Thanks for the note, Mark.
