Clutchmasters Stage IIR has held up to my Hiboost at around 240+/-TQ with plenty of abuse and is as smooth as the stock set-up. Can't say anything about anyone else except I see alot of Specs out there.

I agree my stage IIR has held up for more than a year and still holding strong.

The pedal is like stock, and i can do second gear burnouts with no problem.

Diito, i would like to know as well. My clutch is giving up on me as well. I was leaning towards the spec stage 2.

i have spoken with four protege owners who have broken spec clutches. they are cheap, but i firmly believe you get what you pay for.

Damn I hear alot of complaints about the spec clutches. Even from locals around here. Looks like I might be looking into ACT
