I have put 25,xxx miles on my Stage 3, and over 25 bottles of nitrous(some of it 100/125 shot) and my stage 3 is just fine. I think you should get the stage 3...traffic is not as bad as you imagine it is. And it holds/lasts great!

Diamond pistons are made to order. All you need to do is ASK for stock compression. I sent them OEM pistons years ago. They have the specs.
I drove a stage III clutch for over a year as a daily driver. It's not that tough. Man up and drive it!

If you contact a sales rep from Spec directly, they can custom build you a clutch with organic on one side and ceramic on the other, whatever you want. You'll just pay more than if you got it from Cuervo.

anybody tried a centerforce?
This post right here, just goes to show that you have ZERO clue.  First off, who told you that the stage 1 is too weak? Show me a post where someone has maxed it out. Then tell me how many people have gone through a stage 3. While you're at it, do a search for the stage 2 clutches, and see how many people recommend it.
Oh yeah, and Centerforce....

Drove a Spec St. 3 and it wasn't bad at all. A LOT better than the Kevlar clutch I have.

At first (first 2 hours), the SPEC Stage III felt like an on/off switch. Either I got used to it or broke it in within 3 hours, because now it's much more bearable and would work OK in city driving. Pedal pressure is only slightly harder than stock (which I think is on the soft side anyways). Only the "window" of engagement is closed smaller, thus making it feal more on/off. However, once you know where the window is open, you can easily modulate it.

Stage 3 for a year plus, running 366ft/lbs. It's touchy, but quite livable once you get accustom to it. It's my daily driver, loads of traffic here in DC.

yeah, the engagement does take some getting used to. Its by no means hard to drive at all though. Imho, its no firmer than stock. Ive got about 8K on mine so far. Still holding up great. Its a daily driver too.
