Default Buying Clutch on Ebay?

Well im looking to buy a cheap clutch to help me get through the rest f the school year at Lincoln tech and get me to work good everyday now that I got hired by rallye BMW. I am looking at some clutch kits on ebay with flywheel and all so I wanted to know if anyone has experience with these clutches like XTR, XTD, or F1 racing...what are your inputs on them?

if ur gonna get one go with the f1 racing. thats the only one i havent had problems with. the xtr and Xtd have had alot of problems. the dics are ok but the pressure plates break easily and they wont do nothing about it. ive had 2 break in the same exact way and they say its not a common problem...

F1 clutches are great. The last one I got was for a K20A2....it said exedy on the disc and plate. Gripforce is the seller on Ebay.

I bought an F1 on October 22 of this year, installed it on November 6th, pressure plate broke on December 3rd. The car never went above 3500rpm.

Might just be me, but i'm never buying F1 ever again.
