indeed but I've still mixed and matched different brands so can't see why people say to fit the same brand clutch and flywheel  :undecided:

LUK, Sachs etc etc are pretty much the same though I'd go with a Sachs clutch

Make sure you adopt your driving style to accomodate the new power otherwise you'll be forking out for a new clutch within a few months!

I dont see the point in fitting a new clutch then swapping it for a upgraded one a few months if the new one is fine. new standard clutch will handle the power fine but it may not last as long as a upgraded one.
when my clutch goes Ill be swapping it for a standard one. my original clutch has done 120k, 40k with a remap and 80k without
