Seems abit pricey, I paid, £333 from ECS for a single mass flywheel with a weight reduction to 14lb over the stock 21lb dualmass system and that had new sachs clutch, bolts and alignment tool all included. Mechanic charged me £100 for the job including new gearbox oil, direct fit and no messing about. Much lighter clutch pedal and its lovely to drive compared to DMF, my only worry was it might be too light and jerk abit, but this is not the case.

Definitely a sachs clutch plate bullzeye?

A well tuned map and knowing how to drive will treat ANY clutch well...unless its cheap sh!te.
