Car is Leon Cupra 2.0T with manual box.

Seriously tempted with an OEM clutch and flywheel setup based on the purchase price of the clutch being under £150 and knowing I have had no issues with mine so far. Also worried about spending a fortune on an uprated one like others have done and seeing it last the same amount of time as an OEM one.

However, what options are there for us and where to get them/how much?

I can see an FAQ in the offing  :wink:

the modern clutch and flywheels do seem more reliable up to a point.
once it slips though thats it, so taking into account your current and future torque levels make an assement.

In theory having an LSD is going to place more load on your clutch too, as all stress will be on the clutch
(as opposed to being able to easily loose grip on one wheel).

if you are willing to take a chance (and the possible cost of having to replace a fkd DMF) then go for it.
also gives you more time to research a replacement.

be good to hear your spec too
