[s-cars] What clutch kit do we like

[Ian Duff]

For an only somewhat related data point, I just put a South Bend Stage 3 clutch in my bigger turbo/Malone chip MKIV Jetta TDI, and have been very happy. Very light pedal, lighter than stock, very progressive take-up, very handily manages the claimed 157hp/269 lb-ft, increased from 97/181 stock. Once that was done, had to put in a Wavetrac, to eliminate the one-wheel-peel.

Silly VAG, not importing a quattro diesel. It's not like they didn't just win Le Mans with it, after all. Well, sort of. Leave the hybrid bit on the track. My wallet couldn't afford to keep the Audi Gods at bay with that kind of gee-whiz.
