Why is this clutch so cheap?

I'm looking for an OEM quality clutch kit and I came across this kit.

http://www.capclutch.com/newclutkitse.html

Why is it so cheap? It's only $129. Can anybody confirm that this really is a good OEM quality kit?

well if it helps i bought a clutch off ebay for $89+shipping and it has lasted quite a long time even endured a trip accross the country and a whole lot of hard launches. if you plan on using this clutch for normal driving you should be fine but beware of crap components. my kit came with a poor quality throw out bearing and i had to get one from a mazda dealer. so just look out for bad parts! hope this helps

I ordered one from blackdragonauto.com for $149 and it is running great. Came with pressure plate, clutch, throwout bearing. alignment tool, and some grease for lubing up the input shaft. Didn't take that long to show up either.

Blackdragon auto has a whole catalog of RX-7 replacement parts ranging from carpet to emblems to brake master cylinders. I've ordered a few things from there and never had any problems.

Its that cheap because not everyone sells product at 300% mark-up.
