Looks fine for your set up.  The price point is reasonable.  I've used a standard King Cobra clutch with good results on a mild application (~300hp/340tq to the wheels).  The claimed horsepower rating of the "Stage II" is well above what can be expected for a T5 to hold up to.

I am not a fan of organic friction surfaces, but it is a nice setup minus that. I prefer sintered iron over organic. That is a really nice clutch, probably lighter than stock pedal pressure, going aluminum flywheel??

I would ask if it comes with the bolts and dowel pins to attached it to the flywheel.  Sometimes the kits do not and sometimes they do.

Valeo clutches are what a lot of autopart stores stock. I put one in my girlfriends maxima. They are decent quality. UPR is a decent company I have their camber plates on my car.

I just got a kit like that from late model restoration, so if it does I have extra.
