Fairly sure thats the same clutch Bill is planning to run in his 600bhp Ibiza race car.... very good clutch but way overkill for the road and anything less then 450bhp tbh... my paddle clutch setup is pretty useful and liveable on a road car though... LuK DMF, LuK cover plate and Sachs paddle friction plate.... posted info about this in my build thread and other clutch threads (there are a few)

I would imagine so if the SMF is designed to run a std clutch and not any specific one... couldn't say for sure though as there seems to be a lot of variance in SMF flywheels... you would need the sprung friction plate rather the solid friction plate I have though other wise the take up is going to be pretty on/off and juddery... I would imagine the take up would worse on a SMF than the DMF but can't say for sure...
