Have you looked into the Spec clutches? I am getting mine installed as we speak and the shop that I go to swears by them. They recommended the Stage 3 for me and I got to tell you that when I sat in another car that had one, I couldn't tell the difference between that one and a stock clutch for a New Edge Stang. I have also heard of people having problems with King Cobras, but not too many with the Spec. Something to think about.

That's an option, but to be honest, I didn't see myself putting a s/c on my car anytime soon. But here I am. I'd at the very least get a Stage 2. There's no differenc in the pedal pressure, as all their clutches use the same pressure plate. It might be a good idea to give yourself a little room to grow. Just my suggestion, though.

Just go for the stage 2 and be good till you need it. You can't tell the difference in the Spec.

I put a stage 3 in when I replaced mine (bought my car used and the clutch was gone). I love it, although some think its too stiff.

A stage 3 spec for N/A car? u crazy? Stage 2 at most. The stage 3 you will burn up. It's meant to grab and go, no feathering.

I've had mine in for 3 years now, no problem yet. I had planned to S/C it when I put it in, but haven't gotten around to it....
