im after an uprated clutch that will handle around the 350+ bhp mark. im thinking helix is going to be the best bet but i need it asap and i think they have a daft lead time of 5 weeks or something.

any suggestions on what to go for, and where to get it from. im calling vince at stealth about the helix tomorrow as i know theyre good for it, he he. but wouldnt mind a few other options just in case. if i cant find one it will be the stockers vr clutch for e38 B)

also, what shoild i be replacing with the new clutch. i have clutch/flywheel bolts so far and thats it, lol.

cheers peeps, matt.

I've fitted a Helix kit a few weeks ago - Im pleased with it! I ordered it from Demon Tweeks and it came in 2 days. I fitted it and drove 2000 miles very hard inc a trip to the ring and its fine, its a bit juddery in reverse but I think thats just a charcteristic of the type of clutch it is.
