The SPEC Stage 2+ and SPEC Stage 3+ work great, it is the ones that get the "NON +" series that complain they dont work right.

The "+" series may be a bit more now, however in the long run it will be A LOT cheaper than putting in 2 clutch kits

I had a Spec Stage 3 in my Z24 that had an F23 and it held great for 2 years until I sold the car.

excedy is a good clutch,but from the last few guys that have posted that there trannys have went out,including myself,every single one of them had the excedy clutch on the car..so my guess is,the ss/sc trannys are to weak for the strong clutch
