Default New clutch

I need a little help. I'm new to the Mach sceen and I have a throw out bearing going bad in my car and i figure that I might as have the clutch replaced at the same time. I'm not exaclty sure which clutch would be better for me. I'm not planning on making this car a racer so i'm thinking that i'll keep my hp to about 350 max. Do I need to just stick with a factory clutch or should Igo ahead and get something else? Do you guys have any preferences?

Thanks in advance

i have the spec stage 1 clutch and it kicks ***!!! i love it i have the exact same mods as you ex i have an H instead of an X and it grips amazing i say go with an aftermarket no matter what but spec has worked great for me its shorter than the stock so it will take some getting used to but def worth it IMO

Did you have to get new cables or adjusters with your spec stage 1?

not much shudder here it is a lil harder to get a smoth start due to the shorter clutch and yea its alot harder than the stock but grips 10x better. dont know about the king cobra but have heard that it is about the same. my best friends dad had one on his 95 and said he hated it thou
