Hey all, I'm replacing the clutch on my VE and was thinking about going Exedy. However after looking on-line (e-bay) I have found a few kits for what seems to be really good prices. My concern is that they are TOO good of a price as compaired to what I can get locally. I was wondering if there was anyone that have purchased and Exedy clutch off of e-bay and if there is anything that should watch out for (aside from the obvious such as a deadbeat seller). The guys who I am looking at seem to have good ratings (both have 98.5% or higher) and they are selling the clutches for about $110-125 USD b4 shipping. (depending on who I go with). There are more than 1 person selling the clutches for that kind of price however I just thought that I would check with you all first since I'm positive that someone on here has done this b4. Hopefully it is legit and that way I can afford a lightened flywheel as well.

 

IIRC, the Exedy ones on ebay are OEM replacements, not the Stage 1.

Someone help out with this that knows for sure.

 

so does that mean that they are not any better than stock?

 

that is correct they are basicly the same as stock no extra clamping force

if you plan to mod the car i would get something else but if your going to keep it stock just get on of those

 

they are actually selling a Daikin Clutch and calling it Exedy, they can do that because the manufacturer is the same, and some boxes come marked exedy, but as stated before you're only getting a stock replacement clutch.
I can get you a deal on a stage 1 if you want.

 

so who generally has the best deals on exedy, act or spec stage 1 clutches.

 

yeah i bought that clutch as a temporary clutch until i finally have money to upgrade. Costs about 125 for the clutch kit. It is just an OEM replacement, so it isn't any better, though they claim a 9% increase in power handling. It came with all the parts, I havent installed it yet (dad is finishing building workshop), but if you''re looking for a spec clutch, this exedy isn't it.

 

Wow, thanks for the info guys that would have been a real stupid buy as I'm actually looking for a stock upgrade. These guys are really underhanded to when I e-mailed the guy for the part # he gave me the one of the stage 1 but missing the "A" after it.

The part # he gave is 06803. These guys and their scams.

Hey can you PM me an approximate cost on 1 and then 2 stage1's shipped to M1B-2R4. Thanks, Ryan (maybe I can convince shock to get one with me if we get a deal)

 

Yeah, don't fall for the exedy clutches on ebay. I almost fell into that trap. I bought my Exedy Stage 1 from this group buy: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=321756 The guy is a pleasure to do business with and the shipping is fast. Needless to say, I love that Exedy. I'll probably be buying one for my RSX pretty soon.

 

Assuming UPSs calculator is correct, $275 shipped is doable, I can probably do 255 ea shipped if you get both together.

 

well i'd definately like to get a performance clutch this year. exedy, spec or act are my prefered choices. exedy seems to be the cheapest so that's likely what i'll get.
that's a good price brian. lets see how my bank account is doing after rims/tires, engine mounts, body work & paint.
