I put the king cobra in my 95 and I like it so far. don't really know to much about longevity but for the past probably 4000 miles its been good. Theres no chattering which is a big plus for me. I think a kit like this would suit your needs

I had a spec stage 1 in my 89 gt and it grabbed great but chattered horribly. I know a lot of people have had great luck with their spec clutches but I'm not the only one who's had problems with them chattering.

try this one, it should leave some room for install. search their ebay store for the rest of the stuff you need
