I have the SPEC Stage3+ and the SPEC Flywheel and I LOVE it I think it is a close call between the Exedy and the SPEC are the same price for both.

Exedy Hyper Single Clutch Kit

Product Image May Not Be Vehicle Specific

Part Number: GH02SD

All Hyper Clutches come with a steel flywheel and a 6-puck disc with cerametallic facing, and a spring center damper. The disc is generally smaller and thinner than the OEM disc making for lower inertia and therefore quicker, easier shifting. The higher clamp load and cerametallic friction facings give approximately twice the holding torque of the OEM clutch and generally higher than other single plate clutches.

Thin / Thick
Spring Damper Discs
Push / Pull PUSHClamp Load (Lbs) 2655
Spline Major Dia.
Disc Outer Diameter 225

Exedy Multiplate Clutch Kit


Product Image May Not Be Vehicle Specific

Part Number: GM022SBL

For high-powered applications EXEDY offers Multi plate clutches. These are designed for hot street action as well as drag, road, and rally racing. All of our multi plate clutches come with a lightweight chromoly steel flywheel, and the famous purple anodized forged aluminum clutch cover. Depending on the application, both strap drive and lug drive models are available. All have T5001 cerametallic friction materials for extreme heat resistance. The multi plate clutches are rated up to 800+ foot pounds of torque at the flywheel. And come with spring damper or solid discs depending on the application.

Specs

Number of Discs TWIN
Thin / Thick
Spring Damper Discs NO
Push / Pull
Clamp Load (Lbs) 2426
Spline Major Dia.
Disc Outer Diameter 200
Spline Teeth / Major Diameter 14T / 25

**Please NOTE: To date, there is no proof/evidence of a RL having success with a CM setup...As of 11/4/06, initial steps have been taken in order to file a Class Action Lawsuit against CM for multiple flawed units resulting in thousands of dollars in labor/parts costs, and two potential cases of damaged transmissions. For more/updated information, check this thread.**
