2G Is this a good enough clutch...

Don't know anything about that company. Checked out the picture. It's a 6 puck unsprung. Being that that's your daily that is not the style I would go personally. I have an act heavy duty pressure plate with a 6 puck sprung and it's heavy but still drivable in traffic. I have a 92 tsi. But that clutch has taken a beating and still grabs nice. Some times cheaper isn't better. Clutches are one of those I would drop some more money one
 
That price is scary as hell, and so is the manufacturer and product marketing material. I doubt anybody will tell you it is awesome, as you seem to be purposely scraping the bottom of the barrel. I would venture that, if that thing even holds up to any nevermind repeated shock loads, it would have a tough time doing it at stock NT power levels, nevermind the (unconfirmed? where does that # come from given past threads) hp levels you say you are at.

If you want to risk a part such as this to some unproven eBay brand, go ahead. Do so with the promise that you won't litter the forums with "my clutch exploded, why?", "it slips at 1k rpm", or "clutch wont disengage help" threads in the future.

If you are actually serious about keeping a vehicle around and maintaining this "320 hp about" (again, where is that number from), buy something more in the realm of quality. You don't have to go all out and buy some act 2600 with a kevlar carbon ceramic combination nuclear disc, but try a little harder.. I am trying really hard not to judge this on the basis of the front bumper and hood..
 
Spooled420a is correct, you linked to a 4G63 NT, not to a modular clutch needed for a 420a platform.
 
Here are a couple options for the budget minded -
An Exedy 05085 modular clutch assembly (OEM / Organic disk) would be around $330.00.
A South Bend Clutch K70131-HD modular clutch assembly (OEM / Organic disk) would be around $370.00.

If you want the cheapest 6-puck modular I have ever seen, then http://www.ebay.com/itm/381554202508 is your clutch.

If you want to spend more money on a quality clutch, then I would go with a South Bend Clutch K70131-HD-TZ/B dual friction Kevlar/Ceramic full-face sprung hub disk. The price though is much higher, around $600.

If you want of the Exedy or SBC stuff I have no problems getting them. With the Ebay stuff, well, you are on your own.
 
Buy a quality clutch, and do it right the first time with something that is proven to hold the power and abuse. It's some more money up front but will be less of a hassle in the long run
 
Anyone ever do a 420A mitsubishi eclipse clutch from amazon (mine was all in one brand new)few months later i barely drove it i guess i shifted wrong but the clutch gave out and i found shreds of the pads in my starter...

That LUK clutch is in no way, shape or form a performance oriented clutch. I would only use it as a stock car daily driver clutch that you are not doing anything abusive with.
