Default Need new clutch

No I haven't burned the clutch up yet in my car I've only had a week but the thing is way to stiff. Theres no way to even speed shift and you can't ride the clutch to creep the car at all. I was looking on summit and the ford racing one didn't look to bad and looked like it was streetable and made for quicker shifts. Any suggestions on what clutch I should get? I don't want anything to stiff and that has no room to ride the clutch at all. I want something I won't mind having on a daily driver.

I've heard the king cobra is pretty stiff. Does it feel to stiff to you? I'm not looking for anything way to stiff. I want something just a little better then a stock clutch.

I blew the stocker last week and I have a King Cobra on the way, Its advertised to be 20% less stiff with 40% more grip over a stock clutch

you're either not taking the clutch all the way down or ur syncros are on their way out, no?
i just got my spec stage 2 put in with an aluminum flywheel and i love it, the first day or so it was very hard but now its back to normal and it grabs real nice
