What are your plans for the car? Just what you posted? OR are you planning on 300 rwhp+? If not, King Cobra is a good dd clutch.

I have the Spec and I will tell you that the TOB on it sucks somehing aweful. It squeaks a lot and goes bad really quick. The tage 3 is a bit much for my DD, but I still love the feel. That clutch grabs like nothing I have ever experienced! It is hard to deal with every day, but works awesome when you wanna go fast. King Cobra, from what I have heard, is the way to go.

I've heard mixed reviews with the KC clutch. I replaced the clutch in my Cobra with a FRPP HD clutch.. Cost me 200$ (my cost). Pedals feels light, smooth, and hardly any chatter at all. And easily has 300whp and will see more in the future.
