Fast Road Clutch Question

[Princey_vts]

Clutch finally went at weekend but dont want to get a standard replacement as obviously they wear quick when your cars power output is greater than that of the clutches reccommendations.

Are techniclutch fast road clutches any good for a mk2 vts and iv also heard fast road clutches can be a bastard to handle in normal day to day driving when driving smoothly or pulling off on a hill.

Advice appreciated

i have heard of some people getting on well with the techniclutch, others find it too harsh for road use, others find they collapse after 2k miles

A lot of people on here stick with the standard Valeo clutch and don't have a problem at all, me included.

[Princey_vts]

superb. if the standard ones work well enough, thats good enough for me. Never had to change one on them so thought id ask first. Thanks

What sort of power are you running by the way? I assume nothing over say 160?

[AndySAXO]

standard should suit you unless your car is over 170ish, but then still be ok, but can always uprated it,

I've got a techni clutch and it's really good, much prefer it to standard clutch. Get used to it really quickly. I have gone through two of them though, think that was because they were fitted badly though :s
