I don't think those are Stage 1 Organic clutches, they might just be OE replacement, Stage 1 clutches are usually $200+

Post a link to the auction in question.

No, off a friend (bought it at the price he bought it for). Brand new though. Just buy from the ebay stores (the ones with like 2000+ refs) After I looked around ebay and saw the same setup i bought off my friend for new... the ebay was actually a little cheaper, so I kind of regretting not getting off ebay Just make sure the store is legit Every1 bashes on ebay but that's because they don't research the sellers

any cheap parts on ebay are crap. Especially with engine parts and suspension.

Just verify the store's legitimacy and read the description CAREFULLY. Not too hard

I blew the intake manifold on my car because of some intake bolts. I was running a 32 psi twin screw compressor supercharger with intercooler, aftercooler and a 175 hp nitrous. Apparently $200 for "precision" bolts isnt enough on ebay.

it's possible because i buy alot of sh*t on ebay and always find crazy deals for legit parts so it could be possible. .

and a friend of mine bought an exedy clutch off ebay for like 180 and it was legit so i would say to give it a try.. but thats just my opinion

It is legit, i bought one myself. It is the oem replacement, not stage 1.
Can't remember exactly how much it was, but i remember it was cheap.

YES! I bought the OE clutch from them and now my clutch is really soft, my pressure plate is messed up. Same thing with my friend, he bought a OE from them too and his clutch pedal is much softer than mine haha. I heard that the Exedy OE pressure plate is known to fail but the stage 1 is fine.

I bought a full exedy clutch kit with an XTD flywheel off ebay for like 285 or somehting and it was legit you just gotta be careful and read all the aution first casue most people like BOV will post HKS SSQV BOV then show you a pick of the HKS BOV but then say in the auction HKS SSQV STYLE BOv. Just be careful and read all the auction.

I bought an OE replacement clutch for my RSX off of Ebay and the damn pressure plate wouldn't fit. I tried returning it but the guy kept insisting that he sent me the correct clutch kit, after a month of dealing with the ******* I just gave up. $150 down the drain.

Good luck.
