Can you post a picture of it?

I bought mine from D&D and it came in a plain box as well but it is a KC.
The KC disc is made by Valeo.

Sounds right to me.

I think my clutch disc had a blue color to the springs (not like they may mean anything). My King Cobra had Valeo on it (no King Cobra on it)...

It looks pretty "stock like" visually...

You can tell by comparing the springs or "fingers" on the pressure plate. They are thicker and look more heavy duty than a regular stock plate that you'd get from NAPA or Autozone. When I replaced mine, there was noticable difference.

The only thing I can't understand is there's supposed to be lighter pedal pressure...mine is about the same. Feels a LOT better though. My old clutch wasn't bad...just replaced it because I was doing the rear main and wanted everything to be new.

The King Cobra is supposed to have a stiffer feel than stock (that is normal)...it has a lighter pedal feel than the FMS Heavy Duty clutch (which is probably won't your thinking)...

Yep, that's exactly what I'm thinking about. I must have read the description wrong. I do know that this is probably the best feeling clutch I've ever had in a car...that's for sure. I'm glad I made the change. Nice to know I've got a new seal, new clutch, bearing, pilot bearing, etc. in there. Should last a long time.
