Default Ebay clutches

Why wouldn't I buy a clutch from Ebay, much cheaper. But is it for a reason. Does anyone have any experience or know anything about Exedy clutches. They have a Exedy OEM clutch for the S2000 complete kit for something like $330.

exedy is a pretty well known brand for clutches. but that's not what i would be concerned about. anybody can throw a generic clutch in an exedy box and sell it. those are the chances you have to take when buying through an ebay seller.

S2KPUDDYDAD, have you purchased from them before. That is a really good deal. As for the feedback that doesn't mean anything. They could just make those up.

the problem with the stock setup is the weak pressure plate,if the exedy pp is the same as stock you going to burn your clutch up just as fast as stock

The Co. that is selling this kit is Gripforce they have a great rep
The Exedy is a OEM replacement and works very well for a stock setup. If you plan on doing any engine mods, maybe a little more stout setup would be in order
As for the feedback rating....That means everything when it comes to an Ebayer 100% is the best
Buy with confidence

I'm going to buy the ACT Stage 2 on Ebay, It's much cheaper then anywhere I've looked. Under $500CDN. There's a groupbuy for $560US. Also the kit on Ebay includes the throwout bearing, everything, the groupbuy is just the clutch kit.

The shipping prices to Canada for clutches on Ebay is realistic. I'm tired of seeing $20 shipping to Continental US, $85-100 for Canada.

I think I know where I'll be going when it's clutch time.
