clutch tread

so i have been searching for alittle over an hour about diffrent clutches and havent really found like an offical clutch tread or any thing of that sort. i just wanna get evry ones opinion on diffrent clutches. i dont wanna buy any clutch befor i consult some one who already has it. from what i have read evry one like the ACT clutch. wich i have been thinking about getting but i wanna know about other clutch options as well. i have also read not to get the F1 racing stage 3 on ebay because they like to slip even after 3 weeks. my friend as a spec clutch on his rb20 240 and loves it but i would like to get some info from some rx7 guys befor i do that. and there is 2 other really big ones on ebay. the xtd and xtr wich i havnt read any thing on them. and im shure theres others that im forgetting about but. any info would be nice.
thanks marshall

There's a reason everyone runs ACT ... proven track record and their clutchs function fantastic in our cars, if not everyother type of car as well.

when i bought my car it had an act clutch it felt good but the kid i got the car from didnt kno how to shift and it had almost no disc
exedy is one of the largest clutch manufacturers in japan so i decided it couldnt hurt its not the best clutch its just the best for the amount of money

exedy stage2=140 act stage2=300 or more i havnt looked since i put my clutch in 2 years ago

Never heard of them, but I can tell you that it looks like rebadged Clutchnet stuff. I've seen about a zillion of those things. They sell to just about everyone.

Look at the picture on their main page, look familiar?

Nope. And an ACT isn't *that* expensive. You wanna talk expensive clutches, lets talk multi-disc carbon.
