question on clutch/flywheel setup

Who here has an aftermarket clutch on a stock flywheel??
Any tranny problems you ran into??hows the feel of the clutch??

Reason i'm asking is because I need to put in my transmission soon as possible, and I will be buying the spec stage 2 clutch for my 3rd gen..I wanted to get the fidanza flywheel but Its not possible for me to wait 3 weeks to get it..

i had a spec stage II and it worked great. it ran strong for 60k miles without a hitch. the only reason i am not still using it is that the vehicle was totalled. the kit will not work properly without a pressure plate that has a high clap load. do not try to use the kevlar disc with an OEM pressure plate. my only regret is that the Spec stage II makes the clutch pedal a little firmer than i would like. i drove the car daily for a while and it felt "normal" its not unil i got behind the wheel of maxima wth a stock cluthc that i realized how firm it was.

I am running the ACT/Fidanza set up, and over all I am happy. The only complaint I have is that the Fidanza causes a shutter that has been well document on the org. If you do not rev it up high enough when taking off it will bog/shutter. Other than that this combo has not had a problem putting down my ~300hp.
