Clutch First

[Strike_Lightning]

g-day all,I am just about to start my t upgrades and from all the info overload that is available out there the most obvious one was to do the clutch first(in the 04 5spd's its the weak link).so then it was just a matter of more information overload to try and choose one. there are lots of good clutches out there including the ones made right here in aus.however after weeks of searching and reading and pricing I decided on the spec stage 2+ clutch and cromemolly flywheel,it is good for about 315kw and should do nicely for my car as I am at this stage only going to about 290kw.

has anyone had any experience with these clutches.?

does the slave cylinder realy need to be replaced when doing clutches or is it just a sales pitch(ford original ones r bloody rediculously priced at $580, I can get an after market one for about $240)

cheers dg

yeah csc is plastic and they have habbit of turning inside out... the LS1 csc is alloy, and yeah, heaps cheaper. Same manufacturer too.

So the ls1 csc is identical?? that's really good to know as im about to do a clutch soon im in exactly the same position.

[RAP1D]

Yeah, ford is plastic, Expensive Daewoo is alloy... they are the same size and fitment, so it bolts right in

so I take it by the lack of responses that no one out there has had any experience with spec clutches,cant believe im the first to try these clutches.maybe I am.

let me know how you go buddy im looking at exactly the same 2+ kit from Capa WITHOUT the flywheel.

ive been running a xtreme clutch for 2 years now and have given it absolute abuse and its been a AWESOME clutch for the money I payed. couldnt be happier with it. (not quite wife friendly though)
