I just got my OE replacement clutch from F1. I haven't got it in the car yet, but the quality appears to be on point. Everything looks really heavy duty.

I'm gonna say what most everyone would say.
Search first.
XTD Clutch scam! (http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?43713-XTD-Clutch-scam)!

Just in case you thought that didn't mean google. I'm in the market for a clutch/flywheel combo myself right now. I'm wavering between a Competition Clutch or an Exedy because of some nice deals from the vendors here on Zilvia. From past experience, I'd recommend the same. You don't get to stick around here if your shit isn't together.
Oh, and just for clarification, a few other threads have documented that the XTD stuff = The F1 Stuff. Some more links below.

serious junk...
used 3 of them back in 2008 in a honda.. wasn't my call.
1st one lasted 1 hour. engagement would shake the whole car.
2nd lasted 5 days, all the friction material fell off.
3rd one a spring fell out after 2000 miles of use, leading to a hole blown in the bell. (during a launch)
