Just curious why you feel the need to go up to a stage 3.
And do you use your 8 as a daily driver?

BHR sells a direct line of SPEC clutches as well as our lightweight flywheel which is also made by SPEC.

As JohnG asked, is their a particular reason you feel you need a stage3+?

The SPEC Stage 1 clutch will handle 300 lb./ft. of torque. WAY more than an N/A (and most F/I'd) Renesis is going to make. Not only does BHR have the SPEC flywheels, I have SPEC "specially" modify them and my price ends up being cheaper than the SPEC unit.

BHR also has a lightweight pressure plate in the clutch kit that weighs almost 4 lbs. less than other pressure plates but I want to do another round of testing before I re-release them to the market.

never use clutches that are over-rated for your car. a tough clutch will easily kill your joy of driving.

does the SPEC flywheel need a counter weight? or does it come with one?

You need a counter weight with it.
I got the ACT counter weight with my SPEC flywheel.

I will say this about buying a stonger clutch than you need. It would have saved me a fortune to do so with my vette. I repeatedly upgraded other parts and proceeded to exceed the limits of the whichever clutch I had installed. I went through 5 clutches before settling on the spec 3+. Thing was supposed to hold 850ft/lbs but felt and engaged like stock :)
If I could do it all over...I would buy that clutch first and save myself a couple grand :)
