Opinions on clutch

I will be replacing the clutch in my Z while I'm doing the rebuild.
What do you guys think of this clutch?

I think Exedy is an okay brand, and there's free shipping on it...anybody ever heard of Clutch City Online??
Opinions, please.

Exedy is a good clutch. I believe it's about 30% more over stock clamping power.

I bought the exedy clutch and dis-owned myself.
I didnt break it in correctly like a dumbo and instead of driving lightly and not allowing the clutch slip and not doing WOT runs I was doing exactly the opposite, I was like going WOT, shifting hard, slipping the new clutch, and not breaking it in thinking whatever.

the end result? My BRAND NEW exedy clutch is trashed forever, and ALWAYS slips under launch or hard acceleration.

Please do urself a favor and break in ur clutch. its WELL WORTH IT.

Cool. I ordered it tonight. It should be here in about a week...
...I also ordered my headers a couple days ago, NGK plugs and wires, and I took my block to a local machine shop...things are looking good!
