Need a clutch!!!

Hi, my clutch recently went out on my evo. It's a 2010 gsr with most all of the bolt ons. I've been looking up and down the internet for some deals and I was hoping you guys could help me out with some of it.
Firstly I'm considering some ebay clutches because of their price. What do you guys think of the XTD/PPC/ or KUPP?
Then I obviously went to some known street tested clutches like the ACT/Exedy and Competition but I cant really find a good deal on them (under $400)
It would really help if you guys could give your opinions or experience with those ebay clutches and if you got any deals on those ACT/Exedy or Competition clutches I'm very interested.
- Car puts down between 350-370 and I want something strong enough to hold through anything yet still streetable!!!
-Thanks

Don't go ebay. Dropping the trans on these cars is way too much work to have to do it again shortly after the clutch fails. ACT, Exedy, Competition clutch are all good brands.

Son of a b****... Already ordered an ebay clutch. I ordered the KUPP stage 3 clutch. It looked promising and the pressure plate looked a lot beefier than the stock one. Researched it and the pressure plate has the same design a competition. What do you think?

I would send it back dude. If you decide to use it let us know as I'd be curious how it works out.

My stock clutch did the same thing... How many miles did you have on it with the mods before the issues arose?
