What's general concensus of mating RS4 pressure plate to SPEC clutch disc?
I've read one testimonial that this works well. I've got a SPEC stage 2 still in shrink wrap that I need to do something with. Either sell it or get an RS4 pressure plate to make a "reliable" clutch. I don't exactly want to throw away $700+ for an unused clutch.
What would you do?

Without having experienced it...
I'd say its a good thing. The SPEC failures that I have heard about have been pressure plate related so the RS4 PP with a more agressive clutch disk should be a nice way to go.
Vendors should take note and start selling RS4 PPs and SPEC (or other) clutch disks a la carte.

We offer the RS4 pressure plate separately.

I don't know if I'm the only one that has this setup or not but...
I can tell you that the pedal feel is great, the engagement point is much better(more towards the top), and I don't think I sacrificed much in power holding capability. I'm using it with a LWFW and I am experiencing VERY little chatter. I'm using the SPEC II/III hybrid disk with the RS4 pressure plate and love it!
