Centerforce dual friction is nice. But the other two you mentioned arent bad either.
Just remember you need a good pressure plate too, not just the clutch disk.

If your talking about the King Cobra kit and if memory serves me correct then yes it should have the pressure plate with it. But I would suggest looking at a centerforce or something before you sold yourself on the King Cobra stuff.

remember if you put a solid disc clutch in you are gonna loose a lot of streetability, they are not very forgiving, i would go with the centerforce stage 2 myself unless you have an a**ton of power

I don't mind my SPEC stage II. Definite increase in pedal effort, but it isn't really that bad. I wouldn't run it with a stock quadrant, though, that's just asking for trouble...
I'd take a SPEC over the King Cobra. The Stage I is rated to 410 lbs of torque, and is 10 bucks cheaper than a King Cobra through CFM, both come with a new Throwout bearing, and the Spec comes with a pilot bearing...
I had a heavy-duty Ford unit in mine (not by choice) that had "Remanufactured" and "Valeo" stamped into it. The thing chattered like a broken U-joint.

I think the Centerforce Dual Friction is the best diagphram clutch that combines both strength and keeping a nice stock pedal feel.
The King Cobra def adds some pedal pressure but nothign real bad and I was not completely happy wit how it held compared to the Centrforce Dual Friction but for the money it is a good clutch
Heard from many people a Spec 3 clutch is very hook and go. Also do not use a Spec TO bearing I heard they are absolute junk even from guys who love their Spec clutches.

Ahh crap, now ya tell me... Oh well, my Ford one was squealing w/ 10,000 miles on it, so can't be too bad...
