Time for a new clutch.

2009 Clubman JCW.
Stage 2 manic tune.
Daily driver.
My clutch is pretty much gone and I need to replace it along with the LSD. I know I'm going to purchase the Wavetrac LSD but not sure which clutch. I'm leaning towards Quaife. So they have stage 1-5 clutches. Can someone tell me the difference between all of these and recommend one that is a good fit?

Honestly if you are using it as a daily driver I would recommend going back with a stock JCW clutch as it will be the smoothest and last the longest while being the easiest to drive in stop and go.

I think you were meaning clutchmasters when you mentioned clutches. Most people go with a stage 2 or 3, but again these are more of racing clutches so on a daily driver they will be harsher and not as smooth. Plus you won't get the life out of them.

I would recommend the Quaife for the diff as it is the best for daily use and will last a lifetime without fear of failure or wear.
