maybe u just had a faulty clutch, i have a spec stage 3 xpad in my car and it is fine... i wouldnt go around jumping to conlclusions and saying there crap. we have sold a ****load of specs at TTP and havent really had any problems with them... oh and for the price they really cant be beat.. 400 bucks shipped, it doenst get much better then that

my spec 3 is taking a **** on me now, and i need to get a new clutch in soon. but i am not knocking my spec in and way. I installed mine at 10k miles, and i just hit 57k tonight, i think 47k miles is a pretty good deal for a stage 3, plus not having no clutch return spring since 13k miles, hehe. i think i'm going to throw a stock setup back in for the few months the ls1 stays in the car then i need to find a new clutch that can hold the 422 LQ4 and ati setup. i have to see about the spec stage 4 or 5. Also, the spec stage3 helped me break 2 rears, a torque arm, and twist my body already, id say it had decent holding power, lol.
