I ran one of these with my H/C/I no problem, but as soon as i put a 150shot to it it wouldnt hold. I've got a centerforce now and i must say the pedal is alot nicer compared to the KC, and so far its holding pretty good.

Trust me, you will be feeling that decision for quite a while. Pay the extra dough, and get the CF now if you want a clutch that doesn't feel like you're doing leg squats every time you switch gears.

I have the KC, and it broke 3 Steeda clutch cables before I got a beefed up one from Maximum Motorsports. So my $150 clutch cost me $290 (150 + 40 + 40 +40) plus the beefier cable and adjuster setup, and its STILL a bear to push.

KC is crap, any clutch with a "lighter pedal feel" is a clutch for a wuss, it's suppost to feel solid,and grip no matter if your babying it or slamming it. go get a frpp quadrant and a HAYS clutch and chirp tire all day.

Oh come on! I agree it's supposed to feel solid, but killing your leg at a stoplight is over-kill. The point is to be able to enjoy the car, especially if it's a daily driver. If I wanted to work out, I'd buy a weight cage and bust some squats and "feel the burn"! If it's a track car, whatever floats your boat, cause you don't have to ram that thing 150 times an hour in bumper to bumper traffic.

A Centerforce DF is not a clutch for a wuss, and it will hold it's own on most any street car while still remaining comfortable to operate for those of us who don't wanna "feel the burn".
