Anyone Ever Heard Of Spec Clutches? Or Carbonetic Clutches?

[Sayajin]

Well in my quest for an Exedy Triple Clutch for my GTR33 over here in the states I had someone contact me about a company called Spec Clutches. They are supposed to be a US company that makes economical clutches that can handle crazy horsepower. The guys is trying to convince me to go with one of these over an Exedy, the price coupled with the fact I can damn near get it today, makes me curious. Opinions? Can anyone vouch for them?

Btw here is the site: http://www.specclutch.com/

One more question, the company only makes the clutches and pressure plate, not the flywheel. Will a resurfaced stock flywheel hold 750WHP or do I need to get a new one of those too?

Thanks guys.

*edit* As an aside, I also had someone i trust very much contact me about a Company called Carbonetic Clutches. They were formally ATS Across. From what he was telling me they make top of the line clutches. Also they use a full carbon composite plate instead of the woven plates that Exedy uses, meaning you get a more streetable feel and no need to warm it up. From what he is telling me the Carbonetic Double will actually hold a bit more than the Exedy Triple. Now it costs a little more, but seems worthwile for the benefits. Anyone ever heard of this company, either with its current or old name? *edit*

Seriously dude, its probably worth the phone call. He feels my single plate (which he did up) could handel 700ish+hp.

I guess carbonetic makes carbotic clutches which is what I got Jim to build for me.

Yes it has a stock feel. Of course it is much more bitey than a stocker but the actual pushing in of the pedal is like stock.
