McLeod FTMFW!!!! I have a McLeod Stage 3in mine. Its has great pedal feel, not too heavy. And it has temendous amount of clamp load for some no slippage tire shredding action! I would def consider at least a stage 2 in yours if not a stage 3. not that much price difference.

Just put a spec stage 1 in my 94, have a stage 2 in my 91, and it has withstood many many hard launches without any complaints. I had a King Cobra clutch in my 91 and after about 15 launches it shreaded into a million pieces. Spec FTW! If noy spec, then centerforce would be my second choice.

I have the centerforce DF and love it. I really cant tell you about pedal effort because ever since i bought the car it had a King Cobra clutch in it which was extremley hard to push. This clutch is much easier and much smoother but i dont know how it compares to stock

I considered the DF until I saw the price!!

I guess I'm down to a C/F dual friction or the Spec stage 2, will have to do some research on the McLeod Stage 3.

I also really like my Spec Stage 2 clutch. The pedal effort is on the heavy side but not as heavy as i was expecting, the only time my leg starts getting tired is if i'm stuck in traffic, otherwise its very managable. It grabs insane when you want it to but also does not chatter and maintains perfect drivability on the street, that is once you learn to drive with it lol.
