Your options are Sachs, Helix, South Bend being most popular here. Then if you want single mass flywheel it will be more exensive and noisier but more durable and pleasurable to drive as car revvs better...

I have south bend stage 3 with SMF and can't fault it. It's the cheapest of the three. Some peeps had issues with Sachs ones.

Best is to have a read on the forum

Hey Paul, hope the diff is treating you well. How are you finding the SMF with the south bend stage 3 clutch? Would you say it's good for a daily drive and is there much noise coming from the SMF?

I had the same happen to me after a stage 1 remap on an Edition 30

I went for the Sachs clutch and i didn’t like it at first, lots of judder pulling away in first and the clutch felt ever so heavy but after 500 to 1000 miles i like it now.

hi Dan,

The diff is brill piece of kit. Up there with the best mods I've done to my car! No wheel spin at all in dry and with K04!

I am happy with SMF South Bend clutch as biting point is great and only slightly heavier than stock. The car revs very eagerly. I don't mind the ocassional noise at idle as my car with the mods and engine mounts is noisy already. However if somebody looks for refinement I wouldn't advise SMF clutch
