Question Ebay clutches, anyone try?

Ok so this is the deal. I have a '95 TSi slightly modified, but maybe pushing 230-40hp right now. I plan on racing in a few times at BIR this year (I went the opener) and overall I would like one that grabs a little more than stock. I am currently running a stock clutch, and it is slipping under good throttle. I noticed it quite a bit at the track, but even on street driving is slips a little. I would like an upgrade from stock, yet don't need an ACT 2600.

I browsed ebay and found of course the ACT models, 2100 probably wouldn't be bad for my application. Also came across an Exedy which is apparantly "stage 1" hehe, in otherwords a slight upgrade from stock for like $220. Of course the Clutchmasters starting at like $350.

Now the question: Anybody try the "Pro Clutch" ebay ones? Basically they have standard to a "race" clutch, which are like buy it now for $195. Yes, I know sometimes brand name is better, but it is not always true. And for my application, in which like I said I won't be building to more than 300hp likely, saving a couple hundred on clutch would be nice. (Do my suspension then) :P

Anybody have any comments on these ebay clutches, or even the Exedy? I actually I'm leaning toward this one as it is a known name. Thanks!
