Holy Crap! It is an '04 with under 400 rwhp and you are already having clutch problems?! Have the dealer replace it under warranty.
If you are looking for a replacement for 600rwhp, then I would say the Exedy seems to be the one to go with nowadays and my personal opinion is to stay as far away from SPEC as you can. I had a SPEC Stage 3 with under 2K miles at the brink of blowing up on my C4 and they have horrible customer service. The Luk Gold Series 2 is supposed to be good to 550 torque, may be worth looking at as well.

I don't think you can go wrong with the Exidy twin or single disk clutch. Just FYI the stock clutches are Mfg by Luk. When mine went it wasn't the disk it was the pressure plate that glazed over and had hot spots.
