Default Audi A4 1.8t Clutch Upgrades

I need some info on the product im thinking about to change. I don't know if its smart idea to install stage 3 clutchthat holds up to around 350-370 hp. I know for fact my clutch is slippin but i don't know if all 2000 audi a4 1.8t clutch pedal grabs at the point where my foot is almost off the clutch pedal. Im wondering if that isnormal due to clutch wear or im wondering ifmy clutch linkage is screwed up, either the badhydualic slave clinyder or just normalbad clutch platewear outs.

Help me decide if this product are alright to be installed on stock a4 1.8t.
This one is XTD brand

If anyone has installed these brands tell me your opinion on any problems,or etc.
Is there any problem in shifting or is anything else that needs to be installed before install those products above.

Yeah, I think we had a thread like this before... I wouldn't buy important parts that need quality and need to be well built off of ebay. I mean buying a emblem or a short shifter or a testpipe off of ebay is cool... any old slump can put metal together.

But buying your entire clutch off ebay? I don't know, I'd rather go name brand then get something that might have fitment issues, reliability issues... cause if either of those happen you typically can't return them if you got it from ebay.

But if your willing to take the risk then let us know how it goes
