I would get an adjuster and quadrant that uses the stock clutch cable. But a kit with cable is fine too.
I bought mine from UPR. The one in the writeup is Maximum Motorstorts. I haven't used Steada, but most everything they have is good, you will normally pay a little more for that name, not always.

MM is the best hands down.

Stock cable is the best to use.........

Stock cable is fine IMO if your not planning on putting in a preformance clutch. Otherwise you my want to think about changing it at the same time

Just my 2 cents worth.

The stock cable is perfectly acceptable for an aftermarket clutch, you only need to replace the stocker is if it snaps

make sure you get a firewall adjustor with some kind of locking mechanism. most of the newer ones do in one way or another. I had a Forte's piece on my last car that would back itself off all the time making it damn near impossible to shift until I got out and tightened it up again.

anyone using the FIORE firewall adjustor? curious as to how good that locking system it uses really is...

The steeda one seams good too.
You just have to put a drop of sealent on the head of the lock screw to keep it from vibrating out.
