XTD clutch are they any good?

I'm in the middle of a b-swap and i'm running a little low on cash for the build and I have yet to buy the clutch, I was looking around ebay and I stumbled apon the XTD Stage 2 clutch and pressure plate for $99.00 plus s & h.

My question is this, i understand it's not going to be an amazing product but for about six months daily use no track what's so ever will this thing hold up?

I googled this but I got mixed results.

If you're not going to beat on it, I think it would be fine.
I'm sure proper break-in period is important. :thumb:

Thank you!

- Wed May 08, 2013 11:52 pm #331465 That's my plan, a 9lbs flywheel and a stage two clutch. I had a D15B with one of those and I loved how fast that thing reved, any other places I can search other than ebay?

The OEM aproach sounds good, I'm not going to be making that much power with that setup so I think that clutch should be enough.
