Title: loba clutch??
Post by: Stooey on April 19, 2015, 07:29:27 pm

I have seen somebody selling this clutch kit brand new for £700 and was wondering if its worth buying? Has anybody used one of these clutches before or am I best buying the one from Alex on here for a wee bit more?

I bought helix uprated clutch, golf r dmf and slave cylinder inc all bolts from Alex. Great price and great customer service, give him a call bud!

Single mass not considered a wise move on engines designed for Dual mass, but OK for racing applications where usability and drivetrain lifespan / noises aren't as important.  The Helix clutch with a new DMF is the most OEM like upgrade, but the pedal is at least twice as heavy as stock.
