I have the final version of the CM FX300. The whole fiasco last year was enough to make me go elsewhere next time. It is however working great though!
I would stay away from Spec as I hear they have been just as bad if not worse than CM.

Correct, my spec was total ****, if you want the best out there, call it a day and get the exedy clutch and flywheel combo.

Exedy is where it is at! I would have one if it was released when I needed a clutch. Next time though. I hear that the Bully clutches are supposed to be pretty good as well.
Boosted SS, that is it. Check out TurboTech, UltraRev, Dezod for the Exedy clutch/flywheel combo. PM them because they have better prices on it, and they might even hook you up with a discount too!

I don't know about over here but in the F-Body land specs are 50-50 loved and hated. Supposedly you can't slip a Spec clutch. I've seen it first hand too on my buddy's Camaro. 5 passes at Atco and the thing was toast.
Check out the Bully line of clutches at TAG. I've heard good things.

exedy's site shows a lower stage clutch coming out soon, they designed the racing clutches then came into the market clutches after, it was due to pressure from the cobalt racing division requiring clutches quickly. The stage 2ish clutch with fly should be in the 600$ range, i had one in my car for a month during r&d, it ran well.

i think i'm going to go with the exedy one mentioned above. i better be careful though or else the people from the ebay intake thread might tell me they found a guy who duct taped brake pads to a metal disc and it has the holding power of a NASCAR clutch for 1/23954345th of the price. i'm getting flamed over there big time because i said you get what you pay for when it comes to performance parts cause they wanted to buy an ebay intake and cut up their airbox.
