AE86 shopping for a clutch

So I'd like to get my eight six back on the road maybe by the end of this month. I've already decided on a Fidanza flywheel but not sure what to go with for a clutch. I got some ideas at least. Looking into Spec or ACT brands. I've had good luck with ACT products but Spec's price is appealing to me. My gts has just intake and exhaust mods and is obviously not my everyday driver. I don't launch the car much but do autox with it and generally not too abusive with my clutches. Hell, my 90 corolla had 214k miles on it when I sold it and still was on its orig. clutch. Anyway, if I go with Spec, I'd prob. just go with their stage 1 unit. I think the material in the disc is organic compound while stage 2 is Kevlar. Stage 1 is a lil over 200 bucks while stage 2 is 250. The cheapest ACT looks to be 250 and next step up is 300.

Still no feedback eh? Guess I may go with spec. My friend had one in his mildly modded 240 and it seemed to hold up well
