Something off ebay is never worth buying. Try some better area, Craigslist or even the market section here.

If you do decide on an ebay flywheel + clutch. You just better hope none of the teeths break on you.

eBay is not a store. You find crap and quality all mixed up.
I have had a F1 clutch kit on my CRX for over a year with zero problems.
My car is turbo with 165 lb/ft and it holds just fine.

Ebay sells their own parts also. Which are all crap. He didn't state that he was getting a ACT clutch or anything. Sure maybe ebay are good for a quick fix it, but with the money spent, you can find something worth while.

You said the most "flame on!!" word on this forum Ebay!

Truth is that most will flame you. Based off of my own encounters with the Ebay f1 knock off clutch's are that the street disc seems to flake apart. The 6 pad and 4 pad disc's seem to hold but the Kevlar might break also.

I ran 100 shot of go-go spray through an old LS with an f1 6 pad clutch kit and it held up. So I guess you might get lucky.

I run ACT now.

NO, they do not!
Stop typing miss-information.
Ebay is an auction venue, they do not directly sell a thing.

Prove that ebay directly sells anything, other than internet auction services.

Personally i wouldn't get anything important to the engine running off eBay and second what do you even need a stage 3 clutch for?? There really just a pain in daily drivers, especially if your motor doesn't put out enough power to need a clutch like that.

-You can buy anything on ebay. You CAN buy real quality parts, if you do your research.
- Why the stage 3? Its not needed unless you have a turbo.
-Don't do a light weight flywheel either. In my experience it was not worth 1 extra horsepower at 6,000 rpm, to lose 3hp at 2,000 rpm.

I ran an Exedy disc made for my integra transmission when I had my H2B, and it was a full face disc. It held up great. Personally, I'm not a fan of the cheap stuff, you get what you pay for.
