I have that clutch in my car I bought it from those same people off ebay,took 2days to get it.
It is a little stiffer than the stock clutch. I give this clutch hell!!!!!!!!and it hasnt so much as missed a beat yet....If I had to do it all over agian I would still buy it..its held up nice.
I think it is a knock off of the king cobra clutch it doesnt have ford stamped on it anywhere..???...
but for the money it has held up like a **** and thats all that really matters....right.....

Once again you have no clue[&:].........had you of done your research/homework...you'd know F1 racing stands IN SHORT FOR formula 1 racing which is the marketing strategy....why don't you give the company that is retailing the clutch a call like I did and stop forming an opinion based on no google results...which there are if you look hard enough. so here are the correct answers YES, NO(cause they wholesale not retail to general public) AND NO!!! .there was a time of day where no one had websites did we discredit companies back then too for that........!!!OH and like TTGREENSN95 says for the money that clutch works great for a D/D and some light track use......So I ask you nicely please refrain from giving advice on products you haven't researched properly or even used

So you fell for the name (its amazing what marketing can do to some folks)... Just throw some hype about it being a RACING STAGE 1,2,3 etc.and throw an F1 in there and people will go for it. (I know everyone associates F1 with Formula 1, but I'm pretty sure no one in F1 uses that brand) If it was so great why don't reputable companies like Summit or Jegs sell them (they would buy them wholsale, wouldn't they)? Or what about any local high performance shops? The company that is retailing the clutch just wants to push some products, so they'll tell you anything. Name one good reputable company that doesn't have website? They all do for many reasons, one being for product support, tech assist, warranty, tsb's etc. You can look on ebay and see retailers selling brake pads that are advertised as being "Made of Kevlar... The same material they use to make bulletproof vests, so these are the strongest brakes you can buy!!!" and I'm sure people fall for that and buy those as well. What we don't know is how much they will grind your rotors down, if they'll grab suddenly in the cold or wet weather, and/or if they'll fall apart or how good their braking capabilities and charachteristicsare. We just stick to trusted brands we know like Hawk, EBC, Raybestos, and Bendix for brakes.
I have yet to hear of any complains with centerforce, and many swear by Spec. The King Cobra seems to get mixed reviews. So if your going to do a major service like a clutch job and want good characteristics from it, buy something you can trust. That my opinion...

RE: king cobra
I didn't fall for the name and second of all I don't have any f-1 products on my car but I know some people who have and can comment on how well they worked......have you??? didn't think so........ bottom line is I used a fidanza flywheel rather than an f-1 because I was able to get it overnight cheaply...as for the clutch I reused my King Cobra as it has never let me down and It doesn't bother me what others think or say about the KC clutch because for me it pulls its freakin panties up hard to the aluminum fidanza flywheel and gives it one hell of a mating session!!!! bottom line is sooner or later no matter what clutch you have it'll fail..it's just a matter of time when it comes to racing

RE: king cobra
I put in aHays stock replacement, and it has held great for 4 years.....but it not a "Performance" clutch so it isn't cool
Also, I went with a stock replacement figuring something has got to give, I would rather the clutch did than something else.(which it hasn't had to yet...)
