OEM clutch kit for $139 or Flyin Miata's OE replacement kit for $225? WTF

[imsuchanoob]

I called Flyin' Miata, asked for numbers on clamp force etc... and got nothing. the guy on the phone even said he doesnt see why not to just go buy the oem clutch from mazda because you probably wont see a difference, but in price: $139 for the one from the dealership and $225 for the Flyin' Miata one....

im refraining from saying aything else on this matter until perhaps somebody can give me some feedback on this and explain why Flyin' Miata isnt simply reselling the stock clutch kit for an extra $80 something dollars. my deal is i dont have nearly $400-$500 for a exedy or act kit and at this same time need money to do buy my timing belt and tensionor, and gasket. All work im doing myself, so labor is not an issue.

anybody got any info on a particular clutch kit to buy or have some numbers for me? I'd prefer a higher clamp force than oem because of the occaisional track day and the daily "me beating the crap out of the car"

The dealers sells 2 clutch kits... the true OEM clutch, and a "Value clutch". At $139, you are talking about the Value Clutch. If it is anything like the "Value Brake Pads" that the dealers sell, run away.

IIRC, the OEM 'Value' clutch package is fine for an NA car.
