Default king cobra

I have a 1989 mustang and I need a new clutch.I found this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KING-COBRA-CLUTCH-KIT-MUSTANG-CLUTCH-KIT-5-0L-4-6L-NEW_W0QQitemZ280157023115QQihZ018QQcategoryZ33730Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I read that a few of you don’t like the king cobra clutches. Why? Is there another clutch that is similar in price that is better? Ill buy a more expensive clutch if it very necessary, but don’t need a racing clutch, since the car is a daily driver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought that same one from ebay and from that same seller. It fit pretty good, but the clutch was ridiculously stiff! I changed my stock clutch cable to an adjustable one and the now the clutch is nice and smooth. Not stiff at all any more.

I got one. It grabs good, but the pedal is really stiff.

How does the king cobra clutch compare to the F1 Racingclutch. I want agood softerfeeling clutch. Would you recomend a stage 1 or 2 for a mostly stock street mustang?
