Question Clutch Brand HELP ?????

Just wondering if anyone has heard of " Gripforce " clutches ( E-bay ) and if anyone has used them. I have to by a new clutch and was thinking of the Racing Beat street / strip HD. Also planned on replacing the pressure plate and all else associated with the clutch. Cost through Racing Beat is almost $400.00 but the Gripforce is only about $100.00. Need advice here, I know you generally get what you pay for but if I can save some cash it could be better used elsewhere on the rex.

I went with an ACT. Can't speak on the ebay type but I would not reccomend going cheap on such an important component...

RB does not make thier own clutches. They are made by someone near by them, but I don't recall who. Thier lightweight flywheels are Fidenza, I believe.

It would help if you stated how you use the car, that will be the deciding factor on the type/stage of clutch you need. If this is primarily for street use and not many hard standing launches, a stock disc and upgraded pp should do fine. I would stay away from the cheapest ones, like the eBay one.
