I have a stage 3+ 2.7T and need a new clutch to handle the power. Any opinions??

I was thinking Spec stage 3+??

I ran a Spec stage 5 in another car for a couple years and liked it...

Thanks

 

first this is the a4 forum, but my bigger concern is that you have a stage 3 s4 or a6 and dont know what clutch to get? anyway, with that much power you should be looking at some 6 puck clutches if you want to use all that power. i wouldnt go spec unless you want to replace it again in a year

 

Have there been Spec clutches that go bad in these cars?

I have only dealt with SPEC in the LS1 world with big power, they are larger clutches... That is why I am asking what is recommended from experienced Audi people...

 

well i just had my clutch disc completely snap in two about 2 months ago. it was a stage 4 spec too. no be it, the idiot that put it in before me used a non sprung disc with a alum flywheel, but still. it was less than a year old. southbends are what you want. a good clutch by them will run you 1200 however

 

Spec or clutchmasters ftw. Never heard of a spec splitting in two lol. Prolly a knockoff.

 

I'm assuming you have a b5 S4 with 2.7...

Go here for what your looking for!

 

Pretty sure my buddy is running an RS4 clutch in his stage 3. Definitely follow Don's link above. Mike will probably chime in here shortly too. He'll set you up with the right gear.

 

I am really looking to hear from people with 450+ AWHP. I want to make sure I dont have any clutch issues. I know a spec 3+ will hold it, but I am looking for opinions on other options... I need some longevity too, so who better to ask then you guys on the forums who may have been running setup like this for years.

FWIW, I have an A6, so its also a heavier car and harder on a clutch. I am posting in the 4 forums because not to many people build the A6 for some reason...

Thanks guys...

 

Def. talk to Mike! He's throwing down 800+HP! He is from that site I linked you to also. When it comes to clutches and Audi he knows his stuff!

 

im not the first one to be unhappy with spec. their customer service is non existant
