KYB Clutches specific to the FC?

Has anyone heard of them? I've got a good deal on a 2 week old Clutch Kit but I'm holding off until I have someone confirm their experiences on them.

I'm always scared of buying used clutches. There's no real way to determine how long they were used for. I saw a so-called "1 month old" clutch at the mazda meet, and it looked pretty chewed up. I wouldnt even put it in a beater, that bad.

Just inspect it carefully. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

And KYB? They make decent clutches, no firsthand experience, but friends have em.

I knew this was going to enevitably going to come up. I'm no different. I'm the biggest sceptisist you'll ever meet.

However, I've seen the Clutch first hand and the seller (whom I trust) ensures me It was put on brand new and the TII crashed the next weekend. His loss, my gain?
