    Same product, just taxes i suppose. Everything in EU is much more expensive. I always try and get my stuff from america.

    As a side note, you usually have 10-15% tax on top of the total for import duties. Some get through and you pay nothing, but sometimes you're just unlucky and you'll have to pay a percentage of your purchase

    Will likely work out a little cheaper but not a massive amount. Import fees and post are the killer, pretty sure the taxes are calculated after shipping value is added too making it more.

    I just fitted the white bunny stage 4. 6 puc clutch kit in mine as I’ve done an automatic to manual conversion not used it much yet but feels good and supposed to hold 450ftp torque

    Was that the organic disk? I fitted one during my manual conversion and i haven't driven it yet.

    Yeah the full face organic one it’s really nice to drive
    I had a 6 puck in there and hated it to the point I stopped using the car then fitted an excedy stage 1 which felt quite juddery when in traffic and heavy when I fitted it I was around 280bhp and it was fine but when I went to the 3a setup it struggled to hold the torque

    When I fitted the white bunny one I was shocked there is no vibrations I got stuck in an hour of stop start traffic and it felt like driving my works van it’s that easy I’m starting to put some boost into now and it’s holding perfectly but only at 12psi for now

    I know going from a 240mm clutch to a 250mm doesn’t sound much but it’s loads more surface area

    ACT HD might be pretty close to it's limit at 350HP. I would go for the extreme to have some headroom...

    Hated my Extreme Organic. Needed a leg like Eddie Hall to engage the bastard! 6 Puck RPS now with DW lightened fly and it's lovely. Will go for another paddle next time, white bunny stage 4 6 puck should do me.

    I’m like you going for 350bhp mark got it going into Horsham soon for a custom map and supporting mods,I got one of them act as clutch’s from a guy on here that was selling his on a his plans had changed,he got it from America from frs sport,it’s the same clutch but also get the act ss flywheel too,if you want close oem feel then this is as close as it gets apparently but I will let you know when I have mine fitted

    I thought clutches are rated on torque, not bhp?

    FR Sport in the States are very good for marking value down on packages and minimising customs charges

    Have a chat with Tuning Developments about Clutchmasters units. Very capable. Stick to organic if you can.

    Is the organic just for pedal feel and pressure?
