    Best clutch for 500bhp

    As title really. Would the Sachs Racing clutch be best for fast road use or is there a decent alternative? used the Sachs with my 5 speed with no issues and was still progressive and not paddle like, so something similar if at all possible.

    Clutch on it's own? use this http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58045

    Same material as the Sachs and 6 puck will make it less on off than the Sachs

    It's more the torque level you need to worry about than the bhp with clutches.

      Although a bit heavy, always found the Sachs fairly progressive.
      Is the one in the link proven and tested by many?

        Without a sprung center I can imagine it will be quite aggressive

                Best/cheapest place to buy these - erring towards the Sachs?

                  Bought mine direct from Sachs in Germany. No problems at all, was at my door within 7 days of ordering.

                      Spoke to Marc at EFI Express. He was very knowledgeable and a great help.
                      As my uprated Sachs pressure plate was not slipping at all, have gone for a Southbend Stage 4 disc plate which is compatable.
                      Thanks Marc and everyone else for your help
