Are they any good or are they just junk. I need to get a clutch for my car and I don't know what kind to get. They all sound the same to me any idea on what kind I should get. I just put in all new bearing and I know the motor is good for over 500awhp.

I'd stay away personally. Too many negative stories regarding their products, and the company itself. I know I posted a link to an interesting thread regarding them a couple months ago, no idea which thread...

Some interesting reading regarding XTD. Post 163 is a good one to jump ahead to.
Found it :D
For an Evo, I would just do an ACT 6 puck sprung, people seem to have great luck with them. Another good clutch would be an Exedy Twin disk, but at 500AWHP (@ DB anyways) I don't know if it would hold. BUT, clutches are rated for TQ at the flywheel not HP, so you may be ok if you still have the 35R setup and it's a little on the laggy side. I'm sure most people will tell you to go with the ACT 6 puck though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's HDG6.
Pretty sure Jim (TalonFiero/TalonEvo) plans on running the 6 puck sprung with his 2.3 + FP Black setup and he will make good power at DB.

Don't buy a xtd clutch for an evo. I like xtd clutches never had a problem. But they were in low powered cars compared to an evo making 500 at the wheels. If you have an evo then you should have the money to buy a good clutch like a act. I have heard of some people buying cheap clutches for evos and them going bad after a couple miles. I would go with what goodhart said act 6 puck or twin disk.

Evo don't cost that much it's the go fast part that cost alot of money. ACT 6 puck are $600 to $800 for a good one but to get a twin disk it's more like $1,500 to $2,000. I was looking at getting the ACT 6 puck I have there sold 4 puck now. I was just seeing what else people were using because $2,000 for a clutch that don't last more then 30k mile if that is a wast of money to me.

Go with a Competition Clutch stage 3 or 4. I loved my sprung 6 puck. So nice.
