need opinions on new clutch

red01 · January 14th, 2010, 02:55 PM

So I need a new clutch, im kinda on a budget and i have come down to 2 clutch's and cant decide, help me out. My 2 choices are the king Cobra clutch or the Fidanza 1.0 clutch. Both are about the same price. Which one would you go with?

I put a king cobra clutch in mine 4 years ago and have had no problems and have no complaints.

king cobra
or spec...

I am using the King Cobra. Love it. My car had the old style King cobra on it and the pedal stiffness was a nightmare, but when I got the new style one, they reduced the pedal effort and it's the perfect clutch now.

i was picking between a fidanza or a Spec. stage 2's. i ended up getting the Spec because i found a better deal on one of those.

id say fidanza, just because i havent heard about anyone using them and im curious to see if theyre good. as far as the king cobra guys - i hot lapped a gt with one and it did not like it at all. was fine once it cooled back down, but otherwise was barely engaging at all. how can you tell the difference between the "old" style king cobra and the "updated" ones ?

Different part number. I can't remember which one it is. Look for the one with 15% reduced pedal effort.

Out of those two... I would say king cobra, i havent heard much about fidanza clutches. But i jus ordered a spec 1 today... I wanted centerforce df, but price was too much. But let me kno which one you choose? Ill let u kno how the spec 1 feels. But in the end with tax and shipping i got the spec 1 for $280
