I've narrowed my search and decided between these three clutch kits for my needs,, in the price range I'm willing to spend for a clutch considering I won't be putting more than 350 WHP down. I do want something that is of OE quality or better (will last as long and function as well or better)

Exedy Stage 1: $385 locally + tax. With OEM pilot bearing
I've read this isn't the best clutch out there, but does have a decent reputation for overall build quality, and somewhere close to OEM durability

SouthBend Stage 2 Daily: $440 shipped in + customs & taxes. With Pilot bearing
Not a lot of reviews from Nissan guys for long-term, but most feel it is better/equal quality compared to the Exedy

Competition Stage 2: Have little to no information on this as of yet, but have a quote for $399.99 shipped to my door with no extra charges, with pilot bearing but I'm sure I'll get dinged with tax somehow.
I remember hearing about this clutch, and haven't read bad things but haven't been able to find any real reviews either. Seems like a good quality product but would really love some imput.

So I put it to you guys, the ones who've used these clutches, which do you recomend? I considered JWT, SPEC, etc, etc, and at the end of a bundle of research it seems the above are my best options. Specifically, the JWT being overpriced considering it's components (Stock Disc, Chinese PP, unknown (possibly Exedy) Clutch cover).

Hope you guys are willing to help a noob out here!

 

Wow 200 views and no comments, thanks guys

If this is a matter of "search" please at least direct me in the right path, because I have been searching for a month off and on and can't find any good comparisons/reviews

 

I've driven / riden in a Z with the JWT clutch and it was smooth and silky, possibly better than stock. Car was 450whp at that time and it held power with no issues.

 

Guess I'll just go for the exedy. thanks for all the help
