Clutch and flywheel
Ok hey everyone I'm in search of a new clutch and am not sure what to chose. I am deciding between clutch masters or south Bend Clutch. I currently have a stock 2007 mini cooper s. I have plans to upgrade my car after the clutch is done, my goal is 200 whp.
I know for sure that I want a single mass flywheel to handle extra power but specifically a steel one not aluminum so there is as little chatter and gear noise as possible.
Do all three brands I'm looking at have single mass steel flywheels? Which brand and stage would be best for me?
Thank
Parker

I need a new clutch very soon. It slips in 3rd and above once boost hits. 200whp is just my starting goal with bolts on's and stock turbo. I know I want either a South Bend or clutch master clutch and flywheel. Southbend is a bit cheaper but have heard great things about the brand just not anything mini experience wise.

I assume you still converted to a SMF. I know I don't want a DMF because with more power and torque it won't last. I also might as well put a better clutch in it too than OEM to support whatever the future brings

Go with the clutchmaster like the FX250 as it will work for that.

We offer the South Bend kits and have had very good luck with them. But they just are a clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. You mount this kit to your existing Dual mass flywheel.

Yes you can replace the dual mass with another new one. The stock flywheel can handle the power so I wouldn't be concerned with that.

Normally they fail with age. And usually it's just a spring inside of it that breaks, they don't like fall apart. The clutch will give up before the flywheel.
