What combination? I would need to know the engine, horsepower rating, bellhousing, and method of actuation (clutch fork? which way does the slave cylinder move?) to give you a recommendation.

I do probably more Cobra clutch kits than anyone else. A common issue is too large of a clutch master cylinder. Even a pressure plate with a light clamping force will prove to be hard to push with an incorrectly matched master/slave.

As far as brands, I would stick with either McLeod or RAM. I'm also a dealer for Centerforce, but a lot of Cobra guys have issues with them due to their counterweighted pressure plates. I've also found that the combinations generally won't hold the larger horsepower engines. I would also stay away from the Spec brand. In their higher horsepower clutch kits, they make up for a light static pressure by using an exotic clutch disc, which usually proves to have a lot of chatter and light switch engagement.
