Not a single guy, but I run a Spec clutch. I've been very satisfied. It's held up great so far. I've got the BNR stage 3 twins non seq and I'm putting down 385 rwhp just to give you an idea.



Bryan at BNR Supercars also runs the Spec clutch. His car made about 430 rwhp at the last dyno I think.

i would suggest os giken, but to get a setup that will work for an fd, he might spend well over 2000 bucks

dont really want to spend 2000 dallors on a clutch but i will if i have to. I just want a descent clutch to hold up to arount 400-500hp what about excedy....the car really dont hook up hard enough to worry that much about. How much is the spec 2 and where do i get it..

Get the spec stage 3. I'm using that in my FC. ALthough I'm only putting out 186 ft-lbs of torque. It's rated for up to almost 400. I Like it. drives nice, not harsh like the ACT setup.



BTW when shopping for clutches it is not the HP that matters, but how much torque your engine puts out.
