Default Clutch Comparison

I've seen a lot of people suggest the King Cobra kit... and a lot of people suggest some SPEC kits... I've also seen people bash the SPEC kits..
I have a stock '03 GT, its pretty much just a daily driver.. bone stock.. no upgrades... but I need a new clutch.
What is the very best for my application?

The KC would be the best bet.. The SPEC is an awesome clutch, its holds really well to some power, but it will chatter and the pedal will not feel as positive as a stock type clutch. The KC will easily hold all the power you have or will have in the near future and still feel similar to the stock clutch, with a smooth engagement.

the KC is the best for you if ur going to stay stock or just slight boltons but the spec clutch is awesome if broken in properly. My stage 2 spec chattered for the first 300 miles during the break in period and hasn't made a noise since. And it engages smoothly as well.

There isnt a king cobra clutch per say for your car since it has the 3650 tranny. there is a motorsports clutch for it but its alot more expensive then the ol' king cobra.

If you want spec get spec..buy jrherald's. From all the opinions on here clutches are like exhaust setups you will get a lot of mixed opinions. Centerforce makes a good one too. RAM also.
