Default Valeo Performance Clutch Kits (BA)
Found this clutch kit on ebay for $550. Has anyone used them? Are they any good?
This is about the cheapest 'perf.?' clutch i have found.. I have read in other threads that some are well over the $1000 mark.

Youre ebay link is not working so i can't comment properly.

Most performance kits you buy come with a lightened flywheel, Hi-Perf pressure plate, puk style clutch plate, hi-perf slave/thrust bearing.

Not too sure what you get for $550 but it certainly sounds cheap......

I do know that the ELGT clutch was a Valeo Unit.

These suck the big one mate. Save your money and get a half decent Exedy or similar top quality clutch. Had previously recommended one of these "performance clutches" to a mate with an EA S Pack 1991 and within a week, the thing fell to bits.

Thanks for the info wif_xf, as i've never heard of them, the best thing is to ask if anyone has.
Cheers.
