Ive gone with the Helix steel SMF with 6 paddle drive plate for the vRS.  Its not fitted yet, but I will give a review once it is.  Ive used and fitted loads of Helix clutches and Sachs, and prefer the Helix offerings.  They just seem nicer to use day to day.  Do you want to keep your dual mass?

We have just added all the Helix prices to our website so take a look  :happy2:

I've had the sachs clutch in my vRS for 50+K miles and apart from stiffer pedal it acts just like OEM.

Rated to about 390lb/ft aswell iirc

I've read many times that smf's can be noisier but I've never heard what type of noise it is. Can you explain it please? Is it just more a rumble from the transmission or a different type of noise? Thanks :)
