    Check out AVS, they stock sachs clutch kits. Main advantage of a Sachs kit is it comes with EVERYTHING, including new pressure plate bolts and spline grease. With a LUK you just get the friction disc & pressure plate!

    Luk are Crap!! Fitted a Luk clutch on my KR 16v a few years back and imo it isnt worth it, they are rubbish!! Stick with Sachs, think i paid around 180 for a uprated one for my KR 16v, works really well and very responsive!!

    Yeah, but I don't think I'd trust grease on a part thats been sat on a shelf for god knows how long. You still need 6 pressure plate bolts too ;)

    Mullered a Luk clutch a good few years ago and didn't do anything to cause it.

    Sachs ever since, until Helix came along...
