The spec grabs great..But it has a very heavy pedal...So if you want the pedal to be somewhat on the lighter side then maybe you need to look into the King Cobra.

It's the clamping load of the pressure plate that creates a heavy pedal. Personally I think that the King Cobra is only very slightly better than stock as is the SPEC stage one. If it were me I would go with a Stage 2 as it has basicly the same pressure plate but a different material on the disc, this way down the road you won't have to worry (unless you get really radical). Also you may want to look into RAM, I have had good luck with them.

The spec stage 1 has a very heavy pedal compared to the KC clutch..But i would recommend them to anyone but it is a know t-5 killer so you have to be careful.
