Lots of Spec fans here. I also like the Centerforce Dual Friction. There's also McLeod, Hays, Zoom, Fidanza.

Thats the kit you want to go with.....


to complete the install this is what i recommend......

Steeda Clutch Adjuster Kits - '83-'04 Ford Mustang


most likely all you need to do is have the flywheel resurfaced......

i would just resurface ure flywheel then order the spec 1 kit and the mm cable kit.
OR
place a call to promotion and they can get you everything and plus some good advise on the proper set up need for you driving style
