I just had a Ford Racing King Cobra put in my car. It feels very similar to the stock clutch. people say it has a lighter pedal feel, but i didn't really notice much difference. From what I hear this clutch is pretty decent and can handle a good amount of power. I'm happy with it thus far.

We've used a ton of different clutches. We mainly use Centerforce and have had a lot of luck with those.

Good luck, hopefully your car is pretty stock. Those don't take much of a beating.

Spec stage one, K C is good for a stock replacement, center force.

When your stockish it really doesn't matter. You could even go for a Ford replacement unit, or a zoom clutch from O'riely's.

Whichever one you use- If when you get back in the car and drive it and the clutch feels REALLY heavy- Change the cable too.

I would get an adjustable cable, firewall adjuster and tripple hook quadrant. That's a must usually with these cars, or it makes everything a lot easier.

Get an OEM non-adjustable cable.

Get a Centerforce clutch kit.

Get a FWA.



King Cobra's are not lighter than a stock clutch.

I've owned both the dual friction center force and a king cobra clutch.. I'd say the cf df is allot better and holds a llot more but is stiffer. The kc clutch is softer and won't hold as much power but is fine for a mild car.
