just wondering about these kits, they are very cheap and i know you get what you pay for but has anyone used these or know anyone that has - what are they like ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/XTD-STAGE-3-CLUTCH-KIT-SILVIA-240SX-SR20DET-S13-S14-S15-/380398102935?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item58917e6997

itll be goin in a 180sx with pretty standard power - blitz intercooler and s15 bb turbo.

all feedback appreciated

standard power is even too much for these

act would be better value for money

I've had one for three years in my car and it has been grand. You hav e to run them in properly though or they fail quickly.

These are a good clutch. Had one in an Evo 4 I had. Needs run in couple hundred k. Never gave any bother and really good bite. Great value for money

just regular driving without dogging the clutch i.e not kicking it 20 times coming up a dualers after a roundabout :p

I ran mine in driving home from Limerick to Arklow. Kicked lumps out of it the second I hit Arklow though. :D

they are not the best, i seen them eat flywheel before disk gave up, also free shiping on that ebay link is to usa only for dilivery to ireland you will be looking at more or less 200 euro.
for that you can get act or exedy from any trader on here,

Just get your flywheel surfaced, then it wont take fuck all running in!! its will bed in perfect!! or else buy the kit with the lightened flywheel!!
