Lightbulb I need opinions

I was searching aroung on ebay for parts and stumbled upon a company that sells clutches and flywheels. The company is called Gripforce and they have been aroung since 1999. I was looking into getting there Stage 1 clutched kit for only 98.00 + 18.00 s&h. They also have a stage 3 for 127.00 +s&h. They have perfect feedback and a good warranty system. Do you all think i should purchase a clutch from them or should i stay away from the evil ebay?

It's a chance you'll have to take. I don't know what your goals are, nor do I know what condition your drivetrain is in. However, keep in mind that for a bit more, you can get the Nissan kit which includes the bushings, clutch plate and pressure plate.

You get what you pay for. Nuff said.

You can also use the intrawebs (such as www.google.com) to find out other peoples experiences:

What exactly is the difference from a stock clutch and Stage 3 clutches?

for the most part, just a stronger return spring. Tighter clutch pedal so its harder to push down. It should grip more sudden and not allow a smooth slipping. More jerky between shifts. Very good since the stock clutch will start to show some slipping at over 300 foot pounds of torque. I assume you have more than that if you're looking for an aftermarket clutch.
