I have had the Sachs uprated with SMF for 3 years and wouldn't recommend it to any as it won't let me shift fast and at high rev.
I would consider the LOBA clutchpack with their own SMF, it's also 33% cheaper than the Sachs SMF solution.
Some here in Denmark has bad experiences with the Southbend clutches, so i would avoid that.
My next clutch will be the SPEC eventhough VrsAlex has had some bad customerservice, BNAutoteknik has a good line of communication with them.


whats the SPEC clutch jake?

Holds up to 558NM

I've got the Sachs, the first day I drove the car with it fitted I was coming back from London in a 10 hour 1st gear 2nd gear traffic jam stemming over 250 miles, I was on / off the clutch that much a brand new pair of Adidas trainers soles bubbled up !, leg was like jelly when I got home couldn't even play football the next day !!

I'm used to it now though and every time I drive a normal car now I think, this car is for sissys !
( in conclusion the Sachs is quite stiff, got a very high bite point and a little noisey
