stage 3+ spec on mine, vr6 spec

helix is what i ran originally both organic & paddle, but disk life was shorter than I was happy with. spec has lasted longer with more power going thru it

The Stage 3+ is rated right over 500ft/lbs isnt it?? Would you say the normal Stage 3 (rated at 444ft/lbs) would be sufficient for up to 380~400bhp as torque should be similar.

yep. prolly fine
500lbft would not be achieved on 2wd road rubber in reality.
torque limiter is traction when you have muchos power & torque

Aye, was just trying to work out whether the + was worth the extra £100 or not as I can't see a point in going for a 535ft/lbs clutch when theres a 444ft/lbs option and my expected torque will be around 400ft/lbs anyway.

Think my clutch is starting to get a little tired (ibiza cupra). When it does go i want to replace the flywheel aswell (don't like the dmf's seen too many that have destroyed themselves at work). Would the package in the link below be ok with my car.

It says for a mk4 golf but would assume clearances in bell housing etc are the same as an ibiza cupra.

I've gone and got the Stage 3 228mm Clutch w/ G60 Billet Steel Flywheel. It's a loverly piece of kit and we'll soon see how nice it is to drive with it all I need now is to pick by box back up from dan-ish when he's finished fitting the diff! :D
