Default clutch gone!

My clutch has completely gone. Now I know fitting a clutch in the S in not cheap.

My question is are there better clutches than OEM for around the same price or a bit more? What sort of costs am I looking at?

Mine is still as strong as a randy ox at the moment.

from the 'how to' guide in 'under the hood' sub-forum, the job itself doesnt seem that bad, it's just the ammount of stuff you have to remove to get to the clutch/gearbox to remove it.

i've done a FWD vtec prelude clutch at home before - i'd have to really consider doing it again. i was physically knackered!
if i had a lift, i'd do it. i wouldnt do it on my back with axle stands again though.
