i got mine from there and they do price match, but at least you know it will be genuine and not an ebay copy.

I wouldn't touch an Exeddy Pink Box, as my last one juddered like a pneumatic drill. When I complained to the supplier he said it was normal & refused me a new one. I ended up replacing it with an AP racing clutch which I find brilliant.

the new 6 spring ones are fine and you need to skim the flywheel also but ap are great but more expensive and possibly overkill for the ops power

Tommy, it was one of the new ones & had a new flywheel at the same time which is still being used with the AP with no judder atall. Iv since heard that most are OK but some still judder & Exeddy don't believe judder is a warrantable issue. Had they have swapped mine for a new one which didn't judder then I would have put it down to bad luck, but having to buy a new clutch & fit it because they won't warranty it is hard to swallow. Mine juddered from the minute it was fitted until I removed it after 1500 unpleasant driving miles. I will never buy Exeddy again.

It was more the refusal to warranty it than the fact it was faulty, all companies produce a percentage of faulty products it's unavoidable, but when they tell you to **** off you aren't going to be happy. The AP is great product I can't fault it.
