anyone use Valeo clutches

I seen this Valeo SMFW clutch on E-Bay for under $600.00 has anyone used them?
$900.00 to $1000.00 for these others, alot of price difference.
Will they hold up?

I have installed one on of the guys here on the forums..Andy. He has some beans tranny savers and a chip and he has had no problems so far. Truck runs really good with that setup.

a big price diff. didn't know if the valeo clutch was strong enough for my setup, sometimes you get what you pay for, and others you find an outfit lining there pockets. I priced valve cover gasket the other day at four diff. places. $100.00 ea. to $40.00 ea. The Ford dealer was the cheapest!

I got one on the 94 in my sig. Had no trouble with it. When I bought it from Dial-a-clutch, the said it was a bit better than the typical luk because it had more copper in the disc. Who knows??? I would recommend it.

Best thing I've done to my truck, you wont be disapointed, the stocker is a 12" unit, valeo is 13", better clutch all round with half the pedal resistance.
