what mods do you have done? if it isn't stock there is going to be all sorts of differn't clutch options... there is still a ton for stock ones as well though.

the king cobra clutch is WAY to stiff for its limited holding power, you cant feather that clutch either... which REALLY sucks.

IDK I have always liked the King Cobra, but I love hard clutches.

I have a spec stage 3+. It takes some getting use to but you shouldn't be able to hurt it with the mods you have unless your just plain cruel to it |

Therefore; I must not know his stuff, correct?
j/p
The Spec clutches are great and have proven themselves in many high performance vehicles. They have a lighter pedal and pedal travel on any clutch can be changed with a quad and adjuster. IMO I was very satisfied with my experiences in the King Cobra clutch, but each to his own. I am very used to HEAVY pedal clutches from heavy equipment and other machinery, but as it goes Each to his Own.

I've just heard of way too many King Cobras lasting only a couple thousand miles on 300 rwhp cars. Not to mention the stiffness of the pedal. |

I understand where your coming from, but IMO we have heard those stories on just about any part ever made for a mustang.... whether it be install error, other parts failure, or just a bad make.
and don't forget: User Error - I don't care what your talking about. The wrong operation or overkill will break anything!
