Can anyone give me any feed back on the ebay clutch rand Bahnhof? I'm on a tight budget and found this brand on ebay. They have a stage 3 for about 250$ I'm making about 380whp.
I would normally stick with a brand I know (Ram, Centerforce, etc.) But I'm on a tight budget. Their stage 3's run close to 500$

I bet there's someone here who has a similar clutch setup who can shed some light. I think the biggest weakness is probably the disc itself lasting. But I wouldn't have high hopes for the lifespan of a cheapo clutch kit.
The disc included is puck style which will be nastier on the street. Dunno if that's a concern for you.
The kit also comes with the circular top throw out bearing. I broke 2 of them in my car and a friend of mine broke 1 in his. The circular flange always gets ripped off by the clutch fork. I upgraded to the square top TOB and haven't had a problem since (knock on wood).
The pressure plates are the same most of the time (#C70043 stamp). However, disc thickness can vary so some manufacturers mill extra material off the contact surface. Spec Stage 1 and 2 discs can be used with an OEM thickness pressure plate. Not sure about the Stage 3, but I know the 3+ that's in my car entails milling .040" from the PP. Other than it being thinner and having a blue powdercoat, I could find no discernible difference between the eBay PP that came out of my car and the Spec one when I put it in (both had the same # stamped into it). If the pressure plate in your car is fairly new then you could buy a disc from Spec for cheap and run it.
