Need asap. Thanks! Used but good condition stock welcome. I don't know if I need the flywheel yet. I don't think so.

I got mine brand new on ebay for $160 shipped.
Exedy pressure plate, oem clutch, TOB and pilot bearing. I was very happy with the purchase.
You almost guaranteed do not need a new flywheel, some medium steel wool usually does the trick.
Closest thing I could find on ebay atm. The company I got mine off of was called Gripforce. I recommend them if you can find the website and such.

I have a used (20,000 miles) Spec Stage 2 for $60 shipped. Just let it break in again (450 miles) and it should work just fine. Funny thing is, only half the friction surface has 20,000 miles on it. My flywheel wasn't properly machined so only half the surface was mating.

Would you be able to guarentee this clutch would hold 160-180whp? I wouldn't want a slipping clutch and if half of it is uneven?...I don't know.

This is why the clutch is cheap. I know it held the power I make as long as I didn't slip it (like launch the car). As long as I waited until it was completely engauged before I gassed it, it held. It didn't show issues until I slipped the clutch to launch it and then only after it got hot. The friction surface I took off my flywheel was burnt up and the clutch friction disc is not glazed or pitted. You can't physically feel the difference where it mated and where it did not. There is no step or ledge in the wear pattern. Once it started slipping I didn't launch the car any more.
In theroy it should be fine if allowed to break in on a good clean flywheel for 450 miles. If the clutch doesn't work I'll give you your money back but that is the only guarentee I can make. You just have to decide, is the chance to save $300 worth the risk of having to take the transmission out again. I'll keep the funds in my Pay Pal for one month so it'll be available if you find it won't work. After that the clutch is yours and the money is mine.
