Yeah, I made those same comments before, and it has bitten me in the ass:
- LT4 PP w/ Clutchnet Kevlar/Organic disc (wouldn't hold spray from dig)
- LT4 PP w/ Clutchnet Kevlar/Bronze disc (blew up, damaged flywheel)
- SPEC Stage III Carbon setup (wore out way too quickly, bad spring retainers)
- 2nd SPEC Stage III Carbon setup (held together so far, but I don't see her lasting much after I put the car back together).
All of that, and had I just spent the $900 on the McLeod Street Twin (comes w/ flywheel), I wouldn't have had to worry about it again. It's best just to do it right the first time.
BTW, the prev. owner of my roomate's Vette said it had an LS7 clutch in it, it lived a short life, and was replaced with a SPEC Stage III.
