Help me choose a clutch kit

I am sick of my vibrating CF/DF. What would you recommend for my car? My car sees lots of stop and go traffic.

I've heard good and bad things about the "king cobra clutch" but know it has little peddle resistance, so i assume driving in stop and go traffic wouldnt be a prob.....but im probaly going with this, or a fms svo 10.5

I have the King Cobra and love it. It has held up fine. I have over 100 passes on it launching at 5000 on slicks. I think it's a good clutch for the money.

Well I never had problems with vibration fron my Centerforce DF but those things don't slip at all, and they are famous for breaking things on 5 sp cars. So I kept the Centerforce pressure plate for the holding power and feel but I put in the King Cobra disk and I love it and I have never had any issues with it it holds up fine in evryday traffic and at the track on slicks and 4500-5000RPM launches.

I just installed a King Cobra. It hooks up really well and the reduced pedal pressure is great for my bad left knee.
