Well.... two years later, this clutch is now slipping. I don't drive hard, I never launch it. I am not impressed.

I now have to replace the clutch, which I hated doing, and I am not sure what to go with now.

I don't drive hard and I am on my second clutch in less than 5,000 miles.
I still have plenty of thread on my stock tires.

5000 miles??

If this number is correct and you have gone through two clutches somthing is wrong. Even if it is 50000 miles you still shouldn't go through them that quick. Is it hanging up or ever feel like its not disengaged ?

Did you ever find out what was causing the vibration? How did the engagement change over time? My clutch is starting to slip in 4th. I have spec2+ I am thinking of installing on a stock flywheel.

That is not good news at all. I need a new clutch and was planning on the Spec 3 or 3+ but now I must reevaluate my plans. Stock clutch might be best option after all...

That is also an option! But at 6k+ it will need serious thought.
