looks like its only a direct replacement for OEM.. so it won't handle any more power and probably won't last as long as the OEM!!!
If your looking for a cheap replacement and your not planning on adding more Power than stick with the OEM because its not too much more!!!

If your gonna mod it with power addons then don't cheap out, it won't be worth it in the long run..

DO NOT BUY!!! from Gripforce http://gripforce.com/ They are also on Ebay.I bought a clutch kit from them installed it and the pedal was so stiff it took both feet to push it in . Plus it chattered so bad it would shake the dash and the teeth right out of your head . When I called them they talked to me like I was a little kid that didnt know anything about a car . I have been working on these cars for a living for over 30 years now. The customer drove the car for about a week and it got so bad it would not disengage at the stop lights and would have to shut the engine off to get it in 1st and revers. They told me to remove it and take pictures and send them to them ..I did .. Now they wont take the clutch back because I installed it .?.?. Can someone please tell me how you know a clutch is good or bad without installing it ??? I installed a Velao clutch kit and guess what ? It works perfect ! Google gripforce clutch kit reviews I wish I did before I purchesed from them . Looks like about 50/50 on ratings

I've always been a fan of Exedy/Diaken (I think I spelled that right?) clutches.
