Kenno Unregistered K	They are nearer the £500 mark but are much better clutches. The walkers coverplate i think is about £200.

If its less than 300bhp and 270 lb-ft, (and you don't have plans to exceed that amount in the next year or so) then stick to a standard clutch - it will cope just fine with those figures and anything better would be a waste of money

I recommend the Helix personally. 1972 Triumph Stag 1984 Alfasud TI 1999 Fiat Coupe Turbo LE 2005 350Z
