Very typical Ebay junk! Some people will probably say they had one and it was fine, but do you really want spend more money if it fails on you? ACT has a very good track record and mine (HDSS) has held up to all the drag racing abuse and everything I have thrown at it. PM dregg100 on this forum if you want to get an ACT kit for a great price.

I have used Centerforce dual friction, Clutch Masters, Racing Beat & Exedy with no issues. Never had any experience with that F1 ebay stuff, IMO I would go with a clutch set that is known to be good & stay away from those cheap alternatives. I don't think you want to be pulling your tranny again in the event that that clutch fails.

There are different pressure-plate options but I would recommend an OEM-replacement disc unless you are really putting down power. It will last the longest and be the easiest on the drivetrain. This is coming from someone who has had many different types of clutches on multiple Rx-7's.

I have used F1 ebay clutches in many cars and they are good if you are wanting something better than a stock replacement. I would get the sprung 6 puck kit they have. They will not hold the amount of power they claim, but for stock and up to around 250whp you would be good... That being said is exactly why I have an ACT now.
