I've decided on the spec stage 1 push type clutch, for the money it seems like a very good deal and it replaces all of the parts associated with the clutch. You also get a lightened flywheel and a lot of holding capacity with a stage 1 disc. I've been reading and researching all the options and it doesn't seem like you can really do a quality clutch job for under $1100, the Lindsey kit all in with the flywheel and all new hardware is $1360, not exactly cheap but what is for these cars. At least when it's done there won't be any questions about old parts that weren't replaced.

Any status on your Spec-1 update? I just pulled my 87 951 with a Spec 1 where the engine was rebuilt buy Lindsey Racing and there were bright spots on the stock flywheel and the car always shuttered when in 1st gear or reverse. I am now resealing the RMS and Oil cooler and am replacing the Spec with a Turbo Cup/HD 930 disc. Any update would be nice to compare notes.

i actually ended up installing a Spec scalloped flywheel, 930 disc and a KEP stage lite pressure plate, I ran that up to about 375 whp and it felt and held great. I recently switched over to a 3.0 and went back to a stock flywheel, 930 disc again and a KEP stage 1 pressure plate. Also feels great just like stock, pedal is slightly heavier.
KEP makes a Stage Lite now? How is the pedal feel and do they rate it for any particular power level?

Interesting. Is it their own design like the Stage 1 and 2, or is it a Sach-style PP with the fulcrum point changed (like South Bend and others do)? KEP makes a great PP, but their website started bad and has gotten worse over time.

I would have to say it’s the lite is the same design as the stage 1 because ultimately I sent the stage lite back to them to upgrade to a stage 1. All they changed was the spring.
