Everyone with a Spec Clutch please step inside

My car has about 86k on it. The clutch is slipping nasty and its about to go. I have a Fidanza Lightened Flywheel but im in serious needs of a clutch. I'm also planning on boosting within the next few months so im looking for a Stage 2 clutch with a soft pedal feel, no chatter, low engagement the works. A good clutch, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me there horror stories/great stores about the spec clutch. Thank you.

I have stage 2, had clutch chatter in the beginning. Rarely/barely now. I was told Stage 3 is best for boost and still soft pedal from people that got stage 3.

i'd stray from the stage 2 just based on the fact of the friction material they are using (kevlar disk). Opt for either a stage 1 for NA power levels or a stage 3 (which feels great and is quite forgiving for such a high power clutch). The stage 3 is a 6 puck spring hub with ceramic plates. It might not be something you'd want to consider for bumper to bumpber traffic, the initial bite in 1st is still somewhat fast engaging at times and it will take some smoothing out in between gears
