I need a new HD clutch and I found a couple on ebay. Any experience with these?

EBC HD Clutch with HD springs--$70

Sparks HD Clutch with HD springs--$140

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4529967152&category=43977

I know Sparks has the eight plate clutch but is it really worth twice the amount of money? I am not in the business of paying for a name as we all know Sparks is a big name. Thanks in advance.

If you're really on a budget look into Rockymountain's Tusk HD kits. Comes with EBC HD springs new steels and fibers for about $35. Holding up to my 440 so far.

Go with OEM. They last a lot longer!

I would use an 8 plate set-up with a Hinson basket. Stock clutch components aren't worth a hootinanny when you add more power to them. This is why I say go with Heavier clutch components:

I think it can pull through...:eek2:

I would go with the clutch kit from GT Thunder, looks like it would hold up a lot better than stock and it comes with the inner pressure plate that is machined for extra clearance and the Sparks doesn't come with that. I'd say that's worth the $213.

Actually, this was a Barnett Dirt Digger kit w/ HD springs on stock basket, pressure, and center.
