Evasive Motorsports. they charged less than half what a dealer would charge and they do great work.

That's quite a vague question. eBay is just a collection of sellers. From what I read, I believe Billman suggests an ACT pressure plate with an OEM clutch disk. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

+1 for Ballade Sports and the clutch kit. I bought both the clutch and flywheel and couldn't be happier. Got rid of clutch buzz and the car feels phenomenal with the new clutch and flywheel. The installation was smooth and so far no issues (~5000 miles + track).

bought my clutch kit and flywheel from Alex @ Ballade Sports back in December. They were awesome and have great pricing, plus I got it when they had a special going on so it was even better. Clutch kit and flywheel runs smooth and feels good.

those with the ballad clutch kit... does it make the pedal feel less stiff compared to stock as they advertise?
