I wouldn't personally. I know nothing about it but chances are it is a POS. Just my opinion of course. The clutch would be one of the last things I cheap out on.

if you daily and make less than 300 ft lbs i would go oem, anything else is over kill and will be a pain in the arse to drive around town.

if you are making some serious power, then you will need a clutch and diff that can handle the extra power, and most el cheapos are more trouble than they are worth

Wrong!!!

If you don't want a good deal then don't buy them on ebay. Most major performance stores also sell on ebay and for less as there is more competition so need to lower prices.
For my Eclipse GST I bought clutch, flywheel, gauges, exhaust almost everything from ebay for less than any other retail stores for the same thing. Would have bought my turbo and everything else had it been available on ebay as well.
No need to give false info.
Anyways in regards to this clutch I would definitely not get it as I don't know anything about it. Looks like a no name brand so without any experience or info on it I wouldn't. Might work just fine but no record of how it is and lasts..
If your not FI then just go oem. No need for anything else.

Oh I also bought my FMIC on ebay and it was a no name brand one and worked exactly the same as any top dollar intercooler.
In fact it was found out that the core was the exact same thing as one selling for 899 where as this one was 325 including all car specific piping and bov flange welded on.
So just do research before buying. That is all.
