Clutch, ebay vs. jcwhitney any good?? help
Aquired my 92 sc300 couple months ago. When i got it the prevs. owner said i need it to replace the clutch slave cylinder cuz it use to grind on third gear, but never got to it. Now all gears rub when i shift and when i start the car gears get stuck momenteraly... Took it to a shop the other day and mechanic said i need new clutch+flywheel ofcourse and that transmission seemed ok just lilbit of wear on third gear, releave to hear that. So now, ive been looking at clutch kits and parts online. I read so far many mix reviews on ebay brand clutch kits stages1-2 (Brands: F1/Xtr/Vr...etc) ranging from $200-300 and also stated looking at parts on jcwhitney site (Brands: auto com/Sachs/centerforce.. etc) parts sold separetly but similar prices to ebay however no stages# but this parts come with 1yr warranties i believe. Friend can do the work, will charge me around $200 so im looking to spend around $500-600 in this case; the shop quoted me $900 total for parts(Clutch/flywheel/fluids uknown brands)+labor....
any better suggestions???
My sc300 under the hood is completely stock N/A turbo engine, no after market performance parts in it yet.. been thinking of doing supercharge+blowvalve set up but thats after i fix my current problem and save sum $$ for that, but dnt know how much that would cost nor what parts i need for that setup??
But yea i need help with my clutch dilema... i need to change it ASAP cant keep driving it much like that.

when my clutch went out I replaced it w an f1 racing eBay stage 1. after about 3 years of abuse it was going out again so this time I put a stage 3. pedal stiffness isn't bad in traffic. still holding strong.

Thanks for the replies guys. did lot of research and bought a clutch inbetween stock and racing just a step up on performance wise, Centerforce ll clutch kit. hope the install goes smooth. next step turbocharge.
