No. Don't trust your car with a cheap clutch kit.

Get a new throwout bearing and pilot bearing while you're at it.

The cheap pay twice.

Actually, I've got K&N intake, REV II RB Exhaust, and Boost Controller set a 8 lbs and 12 lbs.

My Autozone special clutch and pressure plate work fine for daily driving once I got past the break in period. Seems about the same clutch pedal pressure as OEM, not as heavy a clutch pedal to what a Street/Strip clutch pressure plate gives. In stop and go traffic, a good thing.
