I have a question: on a non highly modified fiat coupe 20v turbo (about 260 hp) could a reinforced clutch bring improvements? I think I've read that only after 300/320 hp does it start to be useful to have a reinforced clutch. In any case, would it change anything? or just a painful knee. Thank you. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SVNf9jbtAZgjg6fB7

Yes stands a chance as they're not much more then a standard clutch for cost and you're future proofing should one decide to tweak the powa. www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

You won't need the kevlar friction, stage 1 friction plate required looks like the one in the link, if you're unable to find a price give them a call. https://clutch-specialists.co.uk/pages/cg-motorsport-stage-1-performance-clutch-kit www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes
