I love my Specialty Z clutch. Pretty light pedal feel and tons of bite

I can't recommend them based on how they handle problems. I wish I had just gone with the Z1 setup. I'd have saved over $1k after all of the extra labor and month of a rental car Specialty Z cost me.

I am very surprised to hear this. We're you dealing with Seb?

Edit: PM me... Would love to know more

**** that, I'll make it public. I was shipped a warped disc and I had to eat the cost of pulling the trans out to replace it. Greg was great about helping until it came out that the disc was warped, when he promptly blamed the installer. RPS shipped out a new disc no questions asked, which he wouldn't have done if it really was installer error. Greg agreed to help pay for labor until we told him what was wrong, when he quickly withdrew the offer and blamed the installer. The whole thing cost me probably an extra $1500 between unneeded parts, labor and rental cars.

Definitely disappointing the way SZ handled it. We expect mistakes from time to time. It's not the ****-ups that make the impression, it's how you handle them.

How many miles on your stage 3 daily quiet? Any issues? I just ordered the same package from Joe.

Not many, I am at about 1,000 miles and it is smooth.
It took a bit to get use to, is a little more stiff than factory but not calf killing. Also I was without my Z for a little over a week waiting on parts and then shop time to install, so coming back was a bit of a shock & re-learning to drive the car with a whole new clutch setup.
