Pro Alloy 50mm core unit, and cheers
How much was it if you dont mind me asking?
I think i paid around £650, but that was a group buy price and im sure the price was too low. Im not sure what the retail price is.
i remember speaking to AMD about this clutch and they put me off one saying they've got a box full of faulty ones!also MRC had problems with them on the RS4'S.That said i know a few on here have had no problems.Well the clutch is fooked. Took the box off this evening and it seems ive snapped the rivets. First time in 3 years!lol!
Ive emailed spec so i hope they can do me some 'goodwill' as its xmas soon!

Yip, agree about the website, did a lot of research on them on quite a few forums, not one had any issues with them, unlike Spec clutches. So here's hoping.
With the exchange rate at the moment it seems like a good choice. Rather that on my O2J than a standard clutch and new dual mass.........
Wondering if I should be worried about my Spec clutch.. as I too hear of problems, but on Vortex Spec posted up directly to answer the critics.
seems they did produce some poor quality clutches for a period of time but not currently.
I have run Spec stage 3 & stage 3+ too good effect with no issues.
Southbend clutches are another brand advised me which I may try out when I need to

Southbend are the same people as DXD racing clutches. I have asked if they can do a stage 5 that will fit. No springs or rivets with the stage 5.
Jeremy at spec got back to me and said 'Alex, It is good to hear from you...it has been a while. The warranty is 120 days from the date of purchase and it covers manufacturing and material issues. That being said you are technically out of warranty based on time frame. I can offer you a reduced cost on a new disc if that will help. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!!'
So im really not sure to go with Spec again, try Southbend (If they get back to me) or see if Spec can do me a clutch without springs or rivets???
