King Cobras were on ebay for 100 for the kit a while ago, idk if they still are. Zoom makes an amazing clutch, buy a Zoom HP and ull prolly never need another one.

I'm nervous to buy something as important as a clutch off of ebay-
I'm buying a clutch really really soon- and if I can get it for 150 somewhere that would be great

Which is better; FR HD, FR King Cobra, or Spec 1?
It seems that we're all looking for a similar clutch

i have never used a spec1 , or king cobra. i have used the ms hd. and i really liked it. the reg hd, and king cobra are rated the same 40% more clamping force, but i have always heard that king cobra has a pedal softer than stock.???? the reg hd is noticibly firmer than stock.

but i am a litle confused on the kc to hd regular

Zoom clutches SUCK A$$!!!!! DON'T BUY ONE!!! They are cheap and they put out alot of heat.. So much heat that it will burn all the grease out of your throw out bearing.... Stay away from advance auto sht... I'll be gettin a king cobra clutch here pretty soon to replace that damn zoom thats in my 88gt vert.

i have a spec stage 2 and its pretty hard on the leg, not sure about the stage 1 though. But the next clutch im getting is gonna be an RPS clutch and their aluminum flywheel, they have a line just for mustangs now, and ive been hearing great things about them.
