clutch stage 1 2 or 3 ?

[fcsteve]

its going on a daily driver but it has to be able to grab good during racing/drifting. its an m50 with a 260. i dont want it to be hard to drive but i do want it to grab hard, i heard stage 3's are pretty much impossible for a daily driver and i dont want another stock clutch. i can get the stage 1 for $100, the stage 2 for $240 and the stage 3 for $250 so its not like the price is a problem.

was it ok for daily driving ?

I've got a Spec Stg 3 in mine. M50 with 260. It took a little getting use to, but it's not as stiff as I thought it would be. It does grab though. I am still breaking in the motor and everything so I have been driving it daily for now.

can you still shift smooth daily without running the clutch ? or does it grab noticeably ?

[PiercedE30]

It definitely grabs hard. You can definitely shift it smoothly. If you're worried about street drive ability I would go with the Spec Stg 3+, which is a full face clutch vs. a puck style.

i am limited to my choice of clutches. i can get the sachs stage 2 kit for 240 or a stage 3 EZclutch kit for 250.

how much would a spec stage 3 run me ?

[fcsteve]

I have a few questions if anyone can help when people mention a stage 2 sachs clutch kit is that the sport clutch? also can a person use the e30 m3 clutch? its the same size as the m20. I figure it should clamp better. im planning on going turbo, up to 250 to 260 hp, nothing crazy. also where is the best price on a sachs stage 2 clutch kit?

FCSteve, you sold it AS a stage 2 clutch. What a piece of shit you are.
