    I went with a Stage 3 w/ the Sprung hub. REALLY grippy but still daily driveable.

    Don't forget there are tons of other things you should think about replacing....Rear Main Oil Seal, Takeout bearing (maybe the URD sleeve kit...), you'll either need a new flywheel or get the one you have resurfaced.
    You can do the master and/or slave clyinders and replace the clutch line w/ stainless steel. If you are thinking about changing brake lines at all...It's a prime time to do it because they share the reservior.


    I think I caught everything I had done on mine...

    I noticed that the stage 4 is only a couple bucks more, why not just go all the way ?

    At some point you give up a driveabilty....You could get a button clutch made and that thing would lock up like none other...but it would be miserable to drive on the road.

    Honestly...I'm not sure you even need the Stage 3 unless you are planning on upgrading the engine. I'm going to be installing a blower in the next 6 months or so...If that isn't in your plans-I wouldn't look to overbuild too much.

    I hear ya, no point in overkill, I just get sucked into the fact that the stage IV (stage "IV" always sounds badass) is only 15$ !!! more than stage II. If if wanted a stage IV in my M3 it would be like 3000!!!!!...I love toyota.

    No plans for blower.
