Anybody in the Bay Area sell SPEC clutches? Need a Stage II.

Clutch went BOOM yesterday on 85 @ Bernal and left me stranded. Well, not totally stranded since I had my Mtn Bike with me and rode the 6 miles back to the house.

Anyway, hoping to buy it locally if I can.

Sean.

King Cobra with about 17k on it. Need to drop the tranny and find out what the hell happened. [Mad]

Ouch. My KC clutch ended up lasting me about 40K miles before a blown rear main seal took it out. Locally... see if Apex has them in stock. I can't think of anyplace else with in driving distance..... unless you want to go to Frontier Ford and pick up another KC.

just wondering why it has to be someone close to the bay area? are you looking for someone to put it in?

i got my spec stage III from Jim@forevalve also. it's great.

Because I want to go pick it up and not pay shipping.

I'll be installing it myself.

just wondering how these spec clutche's are compared to the centerforce's, im going to need a clutch soon and was just wondering what the difference was, or if i even need one of these two, my car only has a few bolt-ons hedders, cold air and pulleys, so i dont have 300 hp, just wondering what you all think.
thanks

The reviews that I have read on the SPEC clutches have been very positive. I hear that they grab great, aren't too stiff on the pedal and are quiet. I've heard a number of stories of chatter from the Centerforce clutches. I have yet to hear anything negative about the SPEC's.

Have never tried either one, though. Just taking a chance after doing some research. For a near stock car you could just get the Stage I. I understand that it is an excellent stock replacement with stock pedal feel.
