LUK Flywheel & Clutch Questions..

I know this has been discussed in previous threads but I'm wondering how the LUK Flywheel & Clutch kit is. I want to keep the dual mass flywheel in my MINI, but don't want to spend over $1k for an OEM cluth and flywheel kit. I do not like the feel of the Valeo Single Mass Flywheel (I'm 6'8" and have a bad back). Does anyone recommend the LUK Flywheel and clutch kit? Are there any significant problems with it?

Cheers,
James

I've got the clutch kit, I didn't need a new flywheel. Works great, same feel as oem which is what I wanted. Really cheap on rockauto. Under $400 for the clutch and flywheel on rock.

I have it also. Looked exactly like the stocks parts to me. Even the rivets appeared identical. Amazon sometimes has it really cheap, too (like $350 for the clutch kit and DMF).
