you get what you pay for… how hard a concept is this to understand… cheap car parts = cheap quality and cheap mfg.

thats not always true, people dish out tons of money for their high end luxury sedans like bmw’s and mercedes doesn’t mean they are the most reliable of all automobiles, most likely your basic model corolla will be more reliable than them

those cheapo ebay clutches are worse than stock… just like goldline pads are cheap, and they have a narrow temp range they like, and they squeak, depending how you drive that may be just fine - and same with the clutch

i think if its going to be for your daily driver, sure why not, but if the car is being made for track race then you might be better off paying a little more for quality parts.

Cheap parts make cheap cars… I hope you enjoy clutch jobs if you plan to install a cheap one.
