props on the clutch purchase. local dealer charges 11.5 hours on an install for one of those. local guy wasn't too happy due to the fact that warranty didn't cover it.

650 for the clutch itself? Mattgold(evom vendor) is selling them for like 470 shipped. But hey, its for the EVO, its worth it.

You're acting like that's expensive...but that's very cheap. How much do you think a clutch should cost. A new stock clutch isn't much less than that. Your install will cost around $800-1000, btw.

Of course it's not just the disk - it's the whole kit. What would make you even say that?
