R50/53 Clutch is going.... which to get?
Clutch is going.... which to get?
So I'm assuming it's the clutch, about a year ago I noticed this odd squeal when I let the clutch out at traffic lights and now it seems like when I really ramp those rpms, it's slipping a lot before actually reaching the rpms you hear / see on tac.
Mods that I have made:
CAI
17% Pulley
Brisk plugs
Rebuilt Supercharger last year
Milltek exhaust system
I have plans of next year getting it tuned as well as maybe some bigger injectors. So with this being said, which clutch should i go with and besides lower control arm bushings, what else should I do while In there?

I'm glad you said this. My dads mechanic suggested the same setup. How much did this run you? Did this kit include a flywheel?
Yeah Valeo is around 420$ I think at waymotorworks. I was considering this one but I wanted to run it by you guys first.
So what else should I be inspecting / replacing besides transmission oil and LCA bushings?

I experienced slightly more vibration through the pedals after getting the Valeo installed on my R53 (upon recommendation from my mechanic).
Not enough to be distracting or annoying, and the wife never felt it.
But something you might notice and have to adjust to.

^That shouln't occur^. You may have another cause of the vibration or there was a problem with the installation. If it goes in correctly, you shouldn't feel any more vibration.

Anything else is a waste of $$$ and might make you hate driving the car...
A high performance "race" cluch on a daily driver is a bad choice, too $$, and not needed....and it might make you HASTE DRIVING your car....what would the point be then.
Anybody trying too sell you more is just milking your wallet.
