Your getting confused here. The talk of noise is referring to single mass flywheels. If your leaving your OEM flywheel in and replacing only your clutch you don't need to worry about any more noise.
To answer your earlier questions, you will get a slightly stiffer pedal and the way it bites may be a little harsher, but this is to be expected since an uprated clutch is designed to handle the extra torque
Awesome GTI will supply and fit the Helix for around £700-800.
Ignore the prices on R-Techs site, they don't actually fit clutches - they get someone on the estate to do it and I don't think they have updated the prices for a while

Thank you for yr comments, very informative indeed! Is the Helix v reliable then? As mentioned earlier, will give Statlers a ring tomorrow as they r local to me...
gigolo456:
Hi again Folks, can anyone plse advise if there is extra vibration with any of these uprated clutches?
Cheers
AndrewJB:
Yes with any of the SMF set ups
gigolo456:
This is so confusing! On the one hand you r saying there will be vibration, yet ive been advised by a reputable Independent on here that no extra vibration would occur!
Then there's the issue of SMF or DMF, and on the premise that my current DMF is ok, cant I just stick with that?
Part of me thinks that I should perhaps just get a new stock clutch, but can that handle 275 bhp and 330 lbs of torque?? Id say 80% of my driving is to and from work, 2 miles each way, and then bout hundred miles on motorway each wk, so I want a clutch that does not require me to have Herculean strength in my right leg, lol!?
