Default Clutch suggestions for hyrdaulic b18b, close to 300 wheel. (read F1 clutch kit)

Im running a brand new autozone clutch. yeah its ---- i know .

i see the F1 clutch kit thread

but i just wanted other opinions beside this clutch. ill probly end up with it.

i didnt plan on this being a problem in my budget so now im asking you guys what i can get away with cheaply.

im running the act 6 puck in my accord, but that shreds trannies like no tomorrow and cost about double what i wanna pay.

im not really familiar with company's, but im afraid im gonna be ripped of on eBay by some fake ----... i need something capable of holding up to 12 psi but will be daily driven at 8 or 9.

OR WILL THIS WORK http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RA...QQcmdZViewItem

I have read quite a number of reviews that said the F1 felt nice when first installed but went to crap in a very short time. Like a month or so. I was going to buy one but becuase of all the bad reports I decided even though I was on a tight budget it wasn't worth the risk or aggravation of changing it 2X, and in the end instead of saving money you will be out $145 extra for the wasted clutch becuase you have to then buy the good one anyways. XTD I haven't heard much about, I went with the TCS 6-puck kit from a sponsor on H-T as I heard a few users say good things about it but nobody wrote any complaints. And it's still only like $235 shipped.

i bought a clutch kit off ebay listed as F1 Racing Xtreme Stage 4 1900LBS Clutch... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RA...42779176QQrdZ1 I use it on my B18B/GSR trans running 10psi on MT slicks. I have never had it slip and I have been running the ---- out of it at the track and on the street. I have a stiffer pedal now (but not bad) and the clutch is a little grabby but still VERY streetable. If I had to guess how many miles ive put on it since the swap, i would guess 5000. I really only drive the car when i go out racing or to the track. I have abused this clutch like none other and it still grabs hard in every gear no matter how hot i get it.
