I ordered the XSpower fmic I payed $132 shipped. I thought I was only getting the front mount but it came with a licp, uicp, hoses, clamps, and all the nuts and bolts.
I was surprised, I sold the licp for $95, I also sold the uicp for $75 and kept the fmic. I can turn around and sell my stock fmic and make even more money.
A week later they raised the price to $350 on there website.

I was told that Mitsu factory used Exedy components, as OEM standard, in the Evo IX clutches (that Mitsu used an Exedy-brand disc).
if so, Does anyone know if the Exedy clutch disc (just the disc), that many companies sell on Ebay for $35, is the same exact part as the OEM disc ?? meaning iif my shop tells me that only my disc is worn out, and so i dont need to replace the flywheel, or pressure plate... i can just get the $35 disc on eBay and be done with it ???
can it be that simple ?

I bought eBay rotors for a lexus GS430 a few years back.
lasted me like 4k miles. both got warped from heat or whatever. and the shop couldnt even resurface them, said the metal was such poor quality it would just fall apart.
also bought eBay brake pads once for wife's Jetta (that she had 2 years ago). same story, front pads lasted like 5k miles), were completely worn out (and she drives mostly hwy), had to replace with oem pads just to be sure... so i dont believe in eBay brake stuff anymore, quality of the materials is just so poor.
also bought some parts for my C36 benz. parts are made in Korea, rather than Germany. all brand new, and still seemed crooked or just plain dont even fit.... had to return some

Didn't read all pages, but I bought my licp off ebay. Muse motorsports. It fits fine and is only $100 or so. Big name ones (same diameter, same shape) are $150 or $200.
I actually bought my invidia O2 housing off ebay as well. Paid $170 shipped for it. Other big name site were selling it for $225
