My oem SVT clutch is still in the parts box downstairs in my garage, 2 years of 3L naturally aspirated and a couple of months with the turbo on it. The linings and the hub held up well but one of the springs had a small piece broke out of it.
For the most part I like the stock SVT clutch.

However, with all that said I had a stock OEM SVT clutch in my 98 SVT that I owned that popped at 25K miles. Same EXACT thing as the picture there, the hub rivets stripped out and the dealer put in a new clutch for me. The linings were perfectly good on that disk too. It happened on a fast shifting 1-2 upshift where I popped the clutch pretty quick. Nothing that should have killed that disk either.

So I still have faith in the Spec line of clutches.
