I did some research on them and the XTD clutches arent capable of holding what they claim they can. I'd stay away. Go with clutch specialties for a cheap performance clucth and basically any brand for an OEM one.

I have the XTD clutch, they advertized it as a stage 2, able to hold 30% more torque, blah, blah, blah, ... well bullshit! It feels just like the old, worn stock Valeo pressure plate that was removed and the clutch disk they included was a unity disk, which is an OEM replacement. So it is an OEM replacement that they are selling as a performance clutch.
I raised hell and left negative feedback on them at the ebay site, because I specifically asked them by email if the disk included was the Exedy full face organic race disk. They didn't like the negative feedback, so they contacted me and sent me a 6 puck sprung disk for free.
I am driving on the unity disk that they first sent me, and it grabs like stock, because it is, and when I go to rebuild my engine, I will swap in the 6 puck cerametalic and hope that the pressure plate supplies enough torque to use it. The Unity disk isn't bad for a stock application, but they lie and say that it is a performance clutch holding more torque than stock, which it clearly isn't.
Do yourself a favor and look for a ACT street/strip or Exedy racing organic unless you have mods that require a beefier clutch.
