[s-cars] centerforce or spec

[serge]

Thanks to all who have responded. In the end my decision was forced by time.
NEA no longer deals with SPEC, ASW takes 2 weeks to get a Centerforce. TPC
had an OEM setup ready to ship. Blau had something of their own‹
"proprietary" clutch disc w/ OEM pressure plate. And they could get it to me
by today. I decided to give the Blau stuff a shot. Will report any
impressions after I decontaminate everything from the failed oil seal which
caused this failure in the first place.

Thanks again,

SergeFilanovsky
