Thoughts on an Exedy clutch?

Does anyone have any experience with Exedy clutches? I'm considering an Exedy clutch kit for my 300D and am wondering how well their products hold up since I've never used them and I don't know anyone else who has.

I'd caution you to stick with the OE clutch; I know of one fellow who went through a long, painful, expensive route to try to fix a juddering clutch problem. He had a clutch disc from a 240D in a 300D conversion. A sharp mechanic picked up on it (after three or four tear downs) and recommended the proper clutch (five springs vice four) and the juddering problem was solved.
