Hey, can I get a thumbs up for being the closest guess?


Sorry to hear about it but like you say at least you can put the headers on and I'm sure you won't be unhappy with your OEM clutch. The problem I have is that Spec should warranty the clutch. If they do then you can just get the Stage1 instead so you don't loose any money. The stage one looks to be a damned good clutch, and they already have your money. If the linings failed due to poor rivets or glues, then you may be able to get them to swap you out with a stage one. Everything else can probably be the same.
If you are set on an OEM now then still try to exchange the disc and when it comes in sell the clutch kit as a new spec stage1 with slightly used pressure plate and TO bearing. A slight sanding or resurfacing is probably all the pressure plate needs, if that.
