Default which clutch is best?

i have a pretty stock Cobra, and i am planning on upgrading it over time.. im looking at clutches, and i was wondering what the best clutch and pressure plate is on the market.. im looking for a Clutch and Pressure plate that has an easy pedal feel and that isnta real rough ride when i engage and disengage it..


what else will i need/do when i replace the clutch and pressure plate?

Spec or Fidanza are the only 2 clutches i would use on MY mustang.

i have spec aluminum flywheel but i spent a pretty penny on it... 104k... might be able to resurface the one you (im going on the assumption its been replaced) other wise you can A) buy an aftermarket one B) buy stock oem one C) resurface the one you have. With the aluminum fly all i have really noticed is that the engine seems to rev up faster.

i have no qualms at all with my centerforce. it chatters a bit...but it grabs awesome and the pedal efforts not too bad either...a lot less heavy than i thought it would be!

I will have to say stay clear ofcenterforce. mine has given me nothing but problems so far. First off therethrow out bearing sucks had to replace it after 4 months. And my buddy has the dual friction and his pedal is pretty stiff and it not the smothest at engaging.
