Theres tons of threads on here about just how big of a failboat the spec clutches have been in Evos. Spec makes awesome clutches for junkstangs, but they have not gotten any praise in the Evo world. Heres a big thread that started up a few weeks ago.

^ It's like a broken record. If I had a new spec in my possession I wouldn't even risk installing it.

Old thread but this clutch (3+) is rated to just under 600ft/lbs and appears to be a full-face sprung disc. The problems I read on EvoM and Spec clutches were only on the twin plates am I wrong? Has anyone else tried the single disc 3+?
