Kmart makes a clutch for the VQ!?

**for short version scroll down to post #5**

Well not Kmart but some stupid stupid company decided to make my old clutch and an even dumber person decided to pay some half a$$ to install it(previous owner). Anyway i just installed my 5th gen clutch setup in my garage a couple days ago and all i can do is praise it! i ran through the break in period already and finally got a chance to get on it today and it grips like a fresh pair of gumsole Vans lol. Anyway on to the "kmart" clutch when i got my tranny off i almost died laughing because the pressure plate looked so just cheap . I then got it off and checked out my demolished clutch disc and that also looked just messed up. I flipped the clutch disc over to find printing that says "South Africa" talk about 3rd world clutch kits. The only numbers i can find on the two pieces are: LDF-612 on the clutch disc and LCF-760 on the PP. Does anyone have any idea what kind of clutch this is? I also think it goes without saying that it was the absolute worst performing clutch ive ever drivin. I also would like to give mad props to my fiance Heather (shortyblu95) for ALOT of help that i needed to get everything apart and put stuff back together . Heres some pics:

Who cares though? Its off the car, and you say it was a POS....why worry about?

It looks just like a stock disc and pp...

South Africa is not a third world county. America is- apparently - in terms of education.
