Default Cheap/Ebay clutches

My clutch is toast. I saw a few post about ebay clutches but everyone is saying to upgrade while you're at it so I didn't get much info on a direct spec replacement.

I want to stick with OEM spec. It suits my driving style perfectly. Ebay has a few no name brand as well as Exedy OEM clutch kits for like 200 - 260 bucks. They come with the pressure plate, TO bearing, and clutch disc.


So does anyone have an opinon on the knock-off OEM stuff?

Thank You!

Oh yea, please reply asap. I'd like to get this ordered very soon.

I don't mind some cheaper ebay things like a catchcan or lip, but I would never buy a no-name/ebay clutch. It's too important of a part to trust to something cheap and unbranded.

I'd get the exedy but not a no name ebay one if I were you. Hey you never know but not worth the headache to save yourself a few bucks.

FYI Exedy makes a lot of the OEM clutches for Honda, and probably makes it for the S2k as well.
