the centerforce is a good clutch at a good price. spec is good also but people call it stiff. i like the oem clutch. got 190k out of the first one and still going on the second.

I have a Spec in my car and it is pretty stiff but the grip is outstanding. Took a while to break it in but overall I give it a positive rating.

The FRPP king Cobra is a great clutch but it does have a heavy pedal. I am still debating on what one to buy myself in the next few months. I hear the center force df is a good clutch to but I have also heard bad things. I just know I am not going with a stock replacement like zoom or ram (part store kits).

I had a King Cobra, junk, burnt up behind the 347 in 3000 miles. Then I put in a Centerforce(primetime), never looked back. If I have experienced any other clutches I would let you know. Maybe when I build my future drift notch I'll use something different...
