Default Question about SPEC clutches...

Been reading that the SPEC stage II is good for moderately modified turbo engines. Can anyone confirm the torque/HP ratings for the Stage II? Also looking for the best supplier/price. Has anyone seen the kit for less than $400?

with regards to the b5 s4, only horrible experiences from SPEC. That's all I've got

Default Do a quick search of the B5 S4 forum, should be tons of posts....from my memory,

they had faulty pressure plates with the fingers breaking off. This was compounded by the company not offering adequate followup to customers, and denying a problem existed. MarkP had a spec hybrid he used for a long time (maybe 2 years), eventually failed also. Same with Verrukt in Germany. Same with my mechanic in Scarborough, but his wasn't right since day 1. There was even a poll done on it a few years ago, trying to see how many of the b5 s4 spec clutches sold had actually failed.....

Anyways, you get the idea.
