Default Company called Gripforce

So I've been shopping around for an oem set up for my new clutch and I came across this company called gripforce that are, for me, local. They're located in Brea, Ca. I was wondering if anybody who is also in the so cal (oc&la county) has delt with them? http://gripforce.com/product/2000-20...xedy-disc.html. Price seems alil too good to be true... Especially for a pretty significant car part. Any an all feed back is appreciated.

Yes they are legit. I purchased from them before as we'll as others. Try searching and you'll find other members. They have good prices on eBay!

I think I read somewhere they are exactly the same and that Honda uses Exedy. Don't quote me on that.

The stock s2000 clutches are actually made by FCC. I bought on of these exedy kits before, and the quality of the stock s2000 FCC unit is far better.

i purchased the "OEM Exedy" from them for my integra. Felt fine. Keep in mind, although Exedy makes OEM units for many OE's, Exedy aftermarket clutches don't necessarily have the same quality as OEM validated service parts. Anyway, the OEM exedy clutches seem to be fine for regular use. If you want something nicer, just buy an OEM unit from the dealership.

Junk. I tried one ("Stage 3") with the F1 FW in one of my old Miatas and it slipped like hell after 2k miles with only 132whp...
