I have stage 2 and the clutch has been slipping on and off for about 4 months. Need to upgrade, and throw in a LSD at the same time.

I am going for a southbend stage 4 clutch with cryotreatment and lightened (19lb) steel single mass flywheel from the states. These have been getting good reviews over there and on VW Vortex. Pity the exhange rate is not what it was :(

stage 2 with standard clutchy no problems as yet.

save time and uprate it now while the box and engine are out and easy to change over.
