OE vs Uprated clutch...

[Carlv8415]

After my 182 engine decided to spit out its bottom end I thought as the engine out I would fit a new clutch. Correct me if I am wrong but the OE clutch is about £130. all i wanted to know would it be best to use a Renault genuine clutch or go for an uprated one.

I seen this one on Prima Racing (http://www.primaracing.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=35275) and was wondering if anyone has it or knows if it is any good as it is about the same price of a Renault genuine one. Im under the impression as it is a fast road clutch it will feel slightly heavier under your foot.

If not, i know you can get LUK clutches cheaper but as they cheaper I would assume they wouldn't feel the same or last as long.

Thanks

​the clutch cover will just have stiffer springs to take more torque ..... the thing will feel heavier but should be ok for road driving .

So it better getting the Valeo fast road clutch will last just as long but will be heavier?

that pretty much sums it up


it will be the same plate as a standard one with an uprated cover
