Group buy - Sachs clutch set (disc + pressure plate)

[prj]

Just FYI, the "race" disc is not streetable.
Do not buy it if you are planning to use the car on the street.
It is completely on-off, can make noise during engagement and pulling off takes effort.

The performance disc feels just like the stock one, just the pedal is heavier due to the uprated pressure plate.
Unless you are going for something bigger than a GT30R or the main focus of the car is racing and clutch dumps, there is no point to the "race" disc.

I have the race Sachs clutch on my stroker. It is harsh and vibrates during engagement. But it's what was needed with 700nm of torque. If you can get away with the non paddle version do.

Hello Jonas,

Not meaning any disrespect and please don't take it personal: But I wonder if the L&S Cartec price isn't to high.
Please see:

Ok, for some reason the quality of the picture is terrible. I'm working on it.

The extra discount of 5% is acquired easily by backing out of a potential purchase by clicking previous page until you leave their site. Click stay when you get a leave this page warning and they then immediately offer an extra discount. I've had a 15% discount two days ago which dropped the total price to just over 400 euro. (I have a screenshot of this on my laptop.) This price includes VAT and a free delivery of purchases of 300 euro.

This is the Dutch version of the German site of:
http://www.autoteiledirekt.de/

I have no experience of affiliation with them but they seem legitimate. I have read the occasional bad rating on them for delivery/support issues though.

Maybe some of our German forum members can comment on this?

I don't see the Sachs clutch on there for the 3B S2?

Edit: pardon me, just not listed as a complete set

Check! Just ad a space like this: 881861 999802

I agree it is very cheap, but not sure that we are going to get it cheaper at L&S Cartec.

If i've done my maths right the ABY clutch throught the group buy with 25% discount would be 595 euro.
I can get a ABY pressure plate 883082 999724 and friction plate 881861 999820 delivered on this page delivered for 548 euro. If i can find out how to get 15% discount it would be 490 euro delivered!

[Jonas_R]

I manage to get 10% off their price.

Shipping is also half price so maybe we should just drop the group buy.

I can try and order a Aby racing set and see if everything is ok.

I'd also be willing to order the set for my AAN, but tbh I would not be able to verify if the part is original Sachs or a Chinese copy.
I also have no idea what triggers the additional amount of discount on that website. It seems to be random?

[Jonas_R]

I'm also in contact with sachsperformance.com and trying to see what kinda discount I can get from them on 10 kits. I told them price that we could have at autoteiledirect.de

I will update thread if I get a better offer.

I agree.

First time the price was -26% of the retail price and then I got a 5% discount dont know why and then I got the 5% leave page discount.

Update

Sachsperformance could not do a better discount the L&S Cartec.

I can't get more then 5% discount at the moment through autoteiledirekt.de which gives me the following price. Also remember that autoteiledirekt.de will add the VAT in your country to the order:

Price delivered to Denmark for ABY/Performance = 585 euro
Price delivered to UK for ABY/Performance = 564 euro
Price delivered to DE for ABY/Performance = 548 euro (free delivery and lower VAT)

For 10 sets the price with L&S Cartec including shipping in EU will = 559,1 euro

If the clutch set will be ordered from http://www.autoteiledirekt.de/ then I'm better of leaving the group buy, as they have a Dutch site as well: http://www.besteonderdelen.nl/ and ordering from there will save me the postage costs.
Good luck with the group buy.
