If your car isn't too modified. Exedy OEM is best. I wouldn't trust ebay no name kits because labor is where most of the money goes, and why not make sure it's done right, with high-quality parts, the 1st time around? Even if it cost an extra 100 or so, this is an instance where it's worth it.
In my opinion.

I'm in no way advocating the no-name eBay clutch, but other than being too harsh on engagement for my liking, I didn't have an real issue with the XTD I put in. However, with that being said, When I replaced my engine 5,000 miles later, I went back with an OEM Exedy. It just feels better. A lot of the problem was the fact I had a "stage 2" in a car that has a whole 155ftlb. of torque.

Goodwin has a great rep and they might be even cheaper than the ebay kit.
