Stages are for ignorant people who know nothing about cars. For example, I heard this stupid argument a couple weeks ago. Both parties kept arguing about what stages of everything this guy had on his eclipse. It was so stupid. "Naw man, he had the stage II computer not the stage III one." I think they've been playing too much Gran Turismo. I had someoneone ask me what stage clutch I was getting. I was like well, I'm getting a sprung puc and they just said oh. You could tell by the look on their face they had no idea what I was talking about but they definately knew I should go all out and get the Stage V one.
