    My clutch was changed a few months ago and after RS2 spec (Approx 360hp). After an hour of driving on the first drive it started slipping. However since then it has not slipped again and I have driven it quite a lot. It could be due to the car having been sat for over 3 months you never know. Seems ok now

            AFAIK S2/RS2 clutch/flywheel is exactly the same

                  get the organic one.. just as i said... the original aby/adu cant take the power...
                  if you are going to buy a new clucth kit why not to pay 100euros more and get a proper.. where you wont be afraid to lounch it on green light..

                        Buy only sachs pressure plate, it is much more powerfull and you can use with normal organic disc up to 500hp.
