    if i remember correct, since bugeyes are drive by cable compared to 04+ STI's drive by wire...i don't think you'll have any misfire issues.

    Spec clutch SUCKS.

    NEVER buy them.

    I have installed them on every single subaru made, all of them sucked. The never held the advertised power, AND the customer support for after its installed and slipping even brand new SUCKS.

    ACT organic and either the ACT 14.5lb flywheel or the Fidanza 9.5 lb.

    I'm in Jacksonville FL now.

    10,000 miles after I bought my 03 the clutch went out. When we swapped it, it had a Spec clutch on it. I liked it while it was on, but my car was stock, in fact it went out right when I went Stage 2. I put an XTD on and it went out 15,000 miles later. And when we did the 2.5 swap I went with the ACT and must say I love it.

    I'm still happy with my Exedy organic (same on as on this ebay ad), feels like stock and has held stage 4 power for 25k+ miles. I dont know anything about that brand of flywheel, being 12lbs it shouldnt give you a CEL, its always the ones less than 12lbs that cause misfires. Either way, its a lightweight flywheel so you'll lose revs quicker (especially with AC on) and it'll rattle/shudder a bit compared to stock.

    ive got a exedy organic and an exedy lightweight flywheel local if you want em.
    Exedy 11lb chromoly flywheel (20k miles)
    Exedy organic clutch (20k miles)
    Opie on Nasioc(from post below) - Inspected the clutch components before purchace, clutch disc is in great shape, plenty of meat left, flywheel and pressure plate have very minor hot spots but are in great shape.
