ebay clutch kits? eClutchmaster, XTD, Gripforce F1, Pro Clutch

[SMP142]

alright i was looking around ebay and i was wondering if anyone out there has tried any of these clutch kits? the prices vary kinda wildley thats why i was wondering if they were any good? also if anyone has went to the aluminum flywheel and driveshaft? i heard that our flywheel has a problem with getting hot and warping. and i think that might be my problem now b/c it tends to shake alot on take off. and i also heard the driveshaft frees up alot b/c of the weight difference. just thought i would ask around on here b/c i spend my money on some junk....

Don't skimp on the clutch, buy a name brand that is tried and true and that is well known. You will hate yourself for buying an experiment.

well what are some good ones people have bought? and where is a good place to get a drivshaft?

Horsepower freaks (in the vendor section) is the place to go imho. I go a clutch from them that'll support 700whp. I also bought an aluminum driveshaft from titan motorsports(very nice). Personally, I won't buy any off brands from ebay. I try to do things once and quality proven parts is a big part of that. I'd only buy used toyota parts or name brands off ebay.

I've got an ACT HD pressure plate, and 6 puck unsprung....

just to let you know, there are better options. ACT pressure plate=good

ACT 6 puck unsprung=bad

I do like my fidanza flywheel though

i was acutally looking at the fidanza flywheel. who all out there has sprung or unsprung setup? i heard the unsprung is was hard to drive on the street. and its not really needed unless your gonna be using it for racing?

A friend of mine bought an eBay xtd stage 3 for his civic. Total junk. It slips like crazy. Boosting 5 psi, everytime boost hits, slips. Shift gear hard and fast, slips. Launch hard, slips........ Total waste of money.

agreed the XTD clutch is not a very good clutch save the cash and buy the feramic off HPF

XTD Clutch disc :thumbsdow

i tossed the xtd disc in the garbage.. and installed a stock disc with the heavier xtd pressure plate, im happy now..

Don't skimp on anything...ESPECIALLY a clutch. That means in choosing what brand to buy and when you are installing it. I did buy a clutch on Ebay but it was an OEM, worked perfectly till I turned up the boost.

where is a good place to buy a good clutch then? and what brands? i am looking for something to hold 18+ boost. so i am deff looking into a 6 puck design atleast. probably sprung b/c i havent heard anything good about unsprung.
