SPEC Clutches & Flywheels

After the transmission blowing up on my car, I had to look around for a new clutch and pressure plate. I found this company called Spec clutches and they make stage 1 though 4 clutch kits for all makes and models. But, what was the best news is they sell a clutch kit for Hyundai’s. I purchased a stage 3 clutch from them and as soon as I get the clutch and installed I shall do a write up. Check them out at specclutch.com
