A lot of pressure plate issues is because of the master cylinders that come with the different cars. You really need about a 3/4" master cylinder or else you will have a very hard pedal.

Both McLeod & RAM have excellent pressure plate clamping forces, in the fact that they're not overly strong. Most of the clutch kits these days hover around the 2300-2400 lb clamping force mark. No clutch kits today with 2800-3000 lb forces like the ones of the 60's...

I have had multiple issues with Spec and Centerforce, although I have relationships to sell them. McLeod & RAM have given me the least amount of trouble and they are very high quality pieces.

Rick, if you need any help making a decision, I can put you in touch with the owner of RAM or the head tech guys at McLeod. I can be of assistance as well.
