well, most of the store we go get their sh_t about 50-40% of the price we paid.
minus the tax, transportation, handling, rent, and stocking fee and profit=the price we pay.
in ebay, no need for tax, shipping is on the buyer, rent? stocking fee? and other bullsh-t is gone, it's all profit minus the item.

the risk is there tho'

the racing one probably costs a little more but it wouldn't hurt to get the racing one... it's probably meant for modified cars that see some track or strip time... i'd get it for street use...

i have that same exedy clutch, its from clutchcityonmline.com right? it ws great when i got it, but i did the aut to 5sp conversion, and i had too much fun beatin on it, so now it slips a lot changing gears. i htink theres just oil on it, cause i can still chirp 2nd if i tryed. but it slips a lot into 1st gear, no bite at all on it... its a good clutch, just dont beat on it and u will be fine.

and if this guy is buying a clutch, he obviously has a 5sp. i would go for the racing one, usually thingger and look cool
