Default Clutch Preference

Buying my first clutch and wondering what you guys would suggest for a kit. Are Ebay clutches any good? Looking at a Hays clutch on JC Whitney for $500. Just looking for something durable and semi affordable for mostly street use. LT1 T56

I recommended the same clutch then I noticed his car is a 93 trans am, so I deleted my post. I don't know too much about lt1 cars, but I'm pretty sure the clutch is totally different.

Does eBay make clutches?

I really liked the GM LT4 pressure plate and McLeod disc when I had my LT1 setup. Stock flywheel, either have yours milled or just pop for a new one while you're ordering your pressure plate.
