Another LCR clutch kit question

[dubslife]

Hi,
Need some advice on clutch kits for a stage 2 LCR, im looking at a kit off the bay as an option: Sachs dual mass flywheel, Sachs pressure plate, sachs carbon kevlar plate and a hydraulic slave cylinder for £500

Just looking to know what peoples thoughts are on replacing for another dual mass, i know of single mass but dont fancy the chatter.
Is this a decent kit for the money or can it be done better/cheaper?


Thanks

Im on the look out for a clutch kit myself. I saw a post a few weeks ago where Bill mentioned he uses a standard LUK dual mass and cover plate with a Sachs 4 puk paddle.

The other threads which I've searched doesn't really give a deifinate answer for Stage 2 LCRs.

I'm up for going SMF for the change and do have £1k spare to use for the clutch and fitting (would like to keep some pennies spare if possible).

I know Awesome GTI can do the Helix Kit with SMF for £898 or with DMF for £917 (quite pricey) so would like to hear about others being used

I checked Awesome's website and it doesnt really state what friction material is used, looks to me like its a standard clutch kit with a single mass conversion, maybe wrong but it wouldnt last long in a stage 2.
£500 is not looking too bad now!

We need to get a group buy on the go!

Have been looking at the Valero smf conversion ECP sell. A mate has one on his Ibiza cupra and he says to go for it. Only thing putting me off with tht comment is I've heard there better suited to the 5 speed?

Or does anybody know what parts this clutch kit consists of? Could then try TPS and try get the parts cheaper.

I guess this is the kit awesome sell, cheaper here too. Can't see it being a standard clutch!!

Well I've ruled out the SMF after talking to Bill and thinking of the future.... thinking I won't be going big power and I doubt I'll have the car after another year of ownership maybe!

So going for LUK 3 Piece Clutch Kit and LUK DMF with SACHs paddle drive plate, still going to cost over £600 but cheaper than £900 + fitting lol!!

Looking for something a bit stronger than std as car is stage 1 but live in London so 75% of the time is traffic driving so still want to keep it useable day to day.

Has anyone tried the Black Diamond kits?
