The difference in the numbers represent the stages of the clutch. FX100 to FX500 respectively.
If you look at their homepage, you'll see an image which will give you a brief description of each clutch.
My recommendation is you get the FX300. If you get a race clutch, driving daily will be a real pain, but some can take it and some like it.
I think that the reason why the FX500 is cheaper than the FX300 is probably due to driveablility and demand from consumers.
The 500 will be too hard to drive daily, and the 300 is probably the most all-around clutch for the everyday "enthusiast".
Have you ever driven a car with an aftermarket clutch? If not, try it out first. If your clutch catches too quickly (race clutch) you will need to rev and attempt to ride the clutch for standard accelerations. Also, for inexperienced drivers or the people who tend to rip through their gears, I recommend getting an easier clutch, because if you mis-shift, a racing clutch will not slip... Your trans or your motor will blow before the clutch gives in.
Hope that helps.

or the difference in prices is because of the material and time it takes to make them?
5 being the easiest to make because its a one type of compound. same goes for 1. either all driveability or all race
while 3 is harder to make because it consist of multiple compounds tryin to maximize performance and drivability.

race clutches have super grip and usually wear out quick because of the compound used is very sensitive. just lik tires. more grip = less life. i dunno anything bout clutchmaster's product. so... your on your own for that question
