I just recently bought the Spec Racing Stage II clutch its the kevlar segmented clutch. Its pretty grabby. I need to relearn how to engauge the clutch from a dead stop. Pedal pressure is very very close to stock. And the car actually feels alot better ...The acceleration is much better because my clutch before was the stock unit and was slipping under high loads. And the Spec clutch actually feels better overall... I just put down 100 miles on it ... 350miles more for the break in before I can lay into the gas pedal...
It seems alot of the MR2 turbo guys are have no issues and absolutly love their spec clutches which made me want to get one... So I'll keep you posted on my review on this clutch.
heres a link to the Spec clutch website...

Yes, because I have an Echo but the Echo, XA, XB, Corolla, MR-S sypder all share the same type of clutch... The Spec clutch has a lighten option which would compliment, all your mods...

good deal... You wont be disappointed... The stage ii kevlar clutch has a fast engaugement but its still very smooth and the clutch pedal is very very close to stock... The stage II or Stage III should all you need for Scion

I'm going with the stage 3. I had one in my high compression Dodge Neon and loved it.

ok ... you might want to look up the lighten option because it shaves off 4lbs off the clutch and will help with response...

I think I might go for this, probably far better than the TRD clutch. Especially when I start boostin'
This is going to be FUN

425 miles... 25miles more to go to breaking the clutch... I should be able to get that by tomorrow... But my friend Paul the one that drives the E.L. Prototypes turbo XA ... He even liked the clutch alot... So far the clutch is a very sweet very streetable and very good on stop and go traffic type of clutch...

Yea, the stock clutch feels very weak in my xB... It has about 2970mi on it right now... it doesn't engage as solid as i'd like, but, I guess it'll save the tranny.....
