I guy that I know bought the same clutch from this guy and the pressure plate was bad out of the box. I would go with an ACT, I had a clutch masters stage 4 in my hatch and I broke the perssure plate. The car made 411WHP.

Damn that sux, when will people learn you get what you pay for. Ebay shit sucks, Especially if your boosted. Its more money initially but it pays off in the long run. Just think how much you spent on the first clutch and then how much your gonna have to spend now, and im sure its alott less than if you would have done it right the first time, unless you do all the work yourself and dont need to worry about labor charges, even then its still a pain in the ass to have to do a clutch swap.

clutches are measured in load force (torque) not HP rating so it is very possible that with 411WHP you had enough torque to damage the clutch set up.

No problem, It wasnt meant to be said that way to make you feel bad, We all have done it, We all want to save money, Its just we all have to learn differently, and its just the idiots that dont learn and continue to buy the cheap/fake shit and continue to whine about it. As long as you learn your lesson thats all its about.

Well as everyone else is stating, I have never followed the 500 mile break in and never had any problems, Although i would take full blame if something did happen, But in your situation if you dont have the cash/time if soimething does go wrong just be on the safe side. I felt the same way in my del sol and then finally said screw it and just drove the hell outta it. Its another one of those learning experiences lol There are alott of them
