Cheap Clutch vs. Expensive Clutch...

So I'm looking on ebay for a clutch for my '97 Legacy GT 2.5 wagon and there are a dizzying array of choices. Most of the ad pictures look the same and even the wording of ads is identical in many cases. The prices for a complete clutch kit run from $89(!) up to $3-400. I believe you get what you pay for in many cases, but can anyone help me understand what the differences between the cheap and the pricy ones might be? I'm just looking for an OE-type replacement clutch, not anything high performance or heavy duty or anything.

Stage I will work with no engine performance additions. Stage II or III if you're upping the engine performance ante.

Thought this pertained to an SVX, it does not. Disregard this message.

I have a similar one in my Nissan which boasts 310hp (with some mods). And it is OEM from factory

Re: Cheap Clutch vs. Expensive Clutch...

When I converted my Legacy turbo touring wagon from auto to 5 speed, I used OEM clutch parts and they held up extremely well.
