Has anyone had 1st hand experiences of these clutches, are they any good?

I can only find one thread where JBT has said he's used these on 300+bhp coupes and a 400bhp coupe.

they're priced around £150 so just trying to find a compromise between the standard valeo and a uprated one.

my clutch is due to be replaced on the 6th with Rog. (will be running a stage 3hybrid and supporting mods) although Rog has said a standard OE clutch would handle the power.

Dont drag race the car, will hardly be on a track just fast road action on open roads.

Thoughts?

Not had experience of them on Coupes. When I did mine I used a Valeo clutch kit. If you are going to be running that much power get a Valeo one, they aren't that much more than the £150 you quoted. To be honest if you've got and 300+lb/ft I can't imagine the standard clutch lasting that long, but Rog has more experience than me in this department.

I'd have the mindset of: do it once do it right, and bite the bullet now for an extra £300 on the clutch. Rather that that £400 now and ~£700 in a year.

Understand what you mean, really wouldnt want it being replaced for a while once its done, just exploring alternatives.

QH offer a lifetime warranty on replacement and labour (although a warranty means sod all in most cases)

Moneys quite tight at the moment, but i dont think anyones run a standard clutch for more more than a year with 300+lb/ft or am i wrong?...

I currently have a QH clutch in. It has valeo stamped on it, so i wonder if QH buy them cheap from valeo and sell them on?

Anyway, i run 330 torques and it has been good as gold for circa 1 year now. Thats with some track abuse too.

I fully expect it to fail sometime soon, but for now at least it seems fine.

Fwiw i agree with Gunzi, shell out a little more and avoid dissapointment.

I brought a qh clutch kit a couple of months ago for £125, kit turned up and it had valeo stamped on it! Had I ordered valeo in the 1st place it would have been £160.

Qh clutch don't bother!, please don't, there remanifactured or re branded patten parts halfords sell

euro car parts do genuine new valeo clutches for £140ish,

you can go for the alfa v6 gtv clutch or the valeo 20vt clutch but chatting to rog he seems to think there's not alot between either, some say the alfa one can handle higher torque but rog didn't think so

if you talk to lobsterTC he has a group buy 6 pad paddle clutch, new, for the same price he paid for it

Pm
him mate if interested

I would listen to rog, he's knows alot when it comes to clutches as we get him to do the hard work for us lol
