Anyone ever heard of Spec Clutches?

[Sayajin]

Well in my quest for an Exedy Triple Clutch over here in the states I had someone contact me about a company called Spec Clutches. They are supposed to be a US company that makes economical clutches that can handle crazy horsepower. The guys is trying to convince me to go with one of these over an Exedy, the price coupled with the fact I can damn near get it today, makes me curious. Opinions? Can anyone vouch for them?

Btw here is the site: http://www.specclutch.com/



Thanks guys.


*edit* As an aside, I also had someone i trust very much contact me about a Company called Carbonetic Clutches. They were formally ATS Across. From what he was telling me they make top of the line clutches. Also they use a full carbon composite plate instead of the woven plates that Exedy uses, meaning you get a more streetable feel and no need to warm it up. From what he is telling me the Carbonetic Double will actually hold a bit more than the Exedy Triple. Now it costs a little more, but seems worthwile for the benefits. Anyone ever heard of this company, either with its current or old name? *edit*

[Okay]

I haven't tried all their products but the ones for the CA18DET isn't that great. I love my Exedy much much more.

Spec is old as fuck. I had a stage 4 sprung iron disc in my s14 after my os giken.

Giken engaged hard as shit so I ditched it for the Spec. It was ok. Just over kill it.

That is my 1st spec clutch.

My 2nd slipped for about 3000 miles, and now doesn't hold the power it should.

I'm not going with spec ever again. They are good for domestics tho I hear.

Cool. Quick question, are they relatively streetable? My main concern is life. I know on most carbon clutches the life is only about 3-5k mi. However from what I hear you get about 30-40kmi on the Carbonetic clutch because it is a composite unlike the others which are woven. Can you confirm this? Also send me a PM and let me know what kind of price you can do for me on a Carbonetic Double.
