Default clutch specialties vs. spec clutch kit

there both the same price, they both hold about the same torque, people seem to love the clutch specialties on here but the spec LOOKS to be a little more well built but thats just looks and i've only installed one clutch myself. just looks like it has more springs. im lookin at stage 2 kits for my 96 civic aiming for 200hp and i want somthing that engages smooth because its my daily drivin car..

any opnions beside "get it from mike hes the man" there both stage 2 pictured

CS kit


SPEC kit

My buddy had a Spec Clutch in his Camaro (stage 3), and the pp camed warped, took forever to contact spec and get a replacement, caused a big headache.

two hundred isnt that bad. ive had a stage two exedy clutch, pp, and flywheel for a little while and its holding up great. i drive anywhere from 100 - 150 miles stop and go a day, its works good. and cheep, i think i picked it up on ebay for like $200. good deal.

Todd Stough had a Spec clutch a couple years back, for his GSR. "Stage 3" came with a stock Honduh PP sprayed blue and generica unsprung 6 puck. It held up well, but he wasn't pushing past 260-275 whp estimated.
