Default Clutchmasters Any Good?

Since my original clutch lasted 78k and the 2nd one 57k, I'm now fed up with the OEM shit for the Vigor. Plus if I end up doing the turbo I'll need this.

Up until probably today it wasn't annoying me but now it's REALLY bad and needs replacement.

http://www.clutchmasters.com/shop/?p...9280&AppID=122

Stage 2 Clutch:


Power Plus 1 pressure plate
Hi-leverage design
Ductile Iron (when applicable)
Precision heat treated single diaphragm
Re-arched diaphragm for superior disengagement
Heavy-duty straps
Very high clamping force
No unnecessary increase in pedal pressure
Kevlar disc
Steel backing plate
Kevlar friction material
Heavy duty sprung hub
Marcel spring wafer
OEM or better release bearing
Pilot bearing (if applicable)
Alignment tool
Decal sheet
instruction card (if applicable)

Kind of pricey ($955) but it ends up being close enough in price to OEM that I'm just saying hell with it.

I had a stage 3 in my Integra, worked really well, grabbed hardcore, can be a little annoying for driving in traffic, but not bad at all really, i miss it.. but I have a Centerforce in my Talon now..so not so much.

It seems like it's my only viable option short of going custom.
