Uprated clutch

[Eric Sanborn]

I used to run a SPEC stage 2 on my 4ktq
(http://sofadog.net/4ktq/Step5.html, scroll part way down the page)
when I had it. It was a little grabby with parking lot driving, but it
held sufficiently to do regular 4 wheel burn-outs.  I was quite happy
with it, but that was a few years ago now so I can't speak to their
current quality.

I accidentally ordered the wrong one for my car and rather than pay return shipping that's 1/4 the cost of the part I prefer to sell it. It's an unsprung 6-puck type. They are a bit extreme, but I daily drove my last one for 4 years and personally don't think it's hard to use or anything. Engagement is touchy; the difference between clutched and declutched is about an inch of pedal movement. If you try to slip if too much it will chatter, but I found that after a week or two I learned how to drive with it with no chatter or anything. It held all of the power of my 5000tq on a stock 200 20vT flywheel and pressure plate until I got oil on it which is why I ordered the replacement.
