now if it was me and your talking power i would rather go for an actual make rather than something like this
it looks ok but would you really wanna spend that kinda money to find out its crap ? im pretty sure a branded one would only be an extra 30-40 quid more ?

its not the horse power that kills transmission components but torque. id strongly suggest an oem clutch if your not going boost.

Most of the none brand clutches are rather poor. 2011 Demontweaks catalogue lists Group N Helix clutches at £105 for the organic plate and £133 for the cover. If you shop about you can often get AP or Helix clutches at a good price.

if ur after a decent clutch then i would recommended using a sachs clutch, not cheap but do the job perfect, friend of mines got a mk1 focus rs putting out 340 bhp and it the clutch is more than capiable

Standard clutch should be fine. A Valeo or Sachs is what you want.

Cant remember the price of the plate now as i bought it last April/May, because you use the o/e cover it just feels like a std clutch.

Found this.

A plate alone will almost cost you that.
Helix cover will give heavier pedal...
