ebay clutches????
 
anyone ever use an ebay clutch? i have heard somewhere that they are just fancy painted stock pressure plates. has anyone here actually used one? i dont care if your sister's boyfriend's cousin knew a guy that he met through OCZC had one. i want real experiences. i will probably just go with LSD stuff, but i am on a tight budget for a few months and im tired of paying insurance on a car im not driving

I used the XTD "stage 3" sprung 6 puck and it worked great for a few years. It was used for ~200 whp though.

Gripforce clutches are really good clutch for under 400whp
I installed one i my old setup, when I was low powered 326whp and 214ft lbs . then my last clutch was a with their 6 puck sprung disc with ACT extreme pressure plate. their flywheel is also good. the brand is F1

ACT clutches own. The typical street car will never break that clutch

My d16z6 w/ sc14 supercharger has been sportin' a "stage 3" 6-puck ceramic XTR clutch with a chromemoly 11.0 lbf flywheel for two and half years.
Only complaint is my clutch acts like a on/off switch so I have to rely on tire slippage. But I use RT-615 tires in the summer. With very little tire slippage and almost no clutch slippage I end up replacing the passanger cv-axle 3 times year and the driver side once a year. Luckly these cv-axles have a liftime warrenty.
I'm still saving up for some DSS axles or I might try the ebay axles listed to handle 400hp.

I rocked the xtd 6 puck sprung on my 200whp dd for over 2 years. Not a problem untill the end of its life it got a little limp. But I now own a Full face dragger clutch from lsd and all I have to say is. WOW!!! Very nice clutch. My brotherinlaw is running a act 2600 on his gsx and all I have to say is its a slip monster. He wont buy another act ever again.
