Hi All,
After a lot of looking around, I have found the best Spec supplier with the cheapest prices available for new kits. I've just ordered the Spec 2+ Clutch (SV873H-2) & Steel SMF (SV87S) for only £869.97 from Ultra Rev, this includes the cost of delivery from America as well. Other suppliers wanted the following for the exact same kit: Garage Whifbitz (garagewhifbitz.co.uk) £1,155.69, LMPerformance (specclutches.com) £969.84 and Enjuku Racing Parts (specclutchsuperstore.com) £950.05.
Ultra Rev are a company who sell on ebay as ultrarevparts. Walter who I've been speaking to and is very helpful, said that anyone who would like the same deal as I got can contact him at walter@ultrarev.com, he'll confirm your order and prices before creating a PayPal invoice for you.
Walter confirmed that the clutch kit comes with the plate, disc, throw-out, lineup tool, and pressure plate bolts. The flywheel comes with new crank bolts etc.
Here are some useful links:
I was initially after a Sachs Organic Clutch & LUK DMF prior to going stage 2+ next year, however these have been known to start slipping on aggressive maps and organic clutches do no like drag starts/launches which takes a lot of fun out of it for me. The cheapest I found this for was £725 from TSR Performance but they're only rated to 390lbs which is what stage 2+ can see on aggressive maps. There is a Sachs Sintered Clutch & LUK DMF of which is rated to 475lbs but this is a paddle clutch which are horrible to use in everyday driving, I do a lot of town driving to and from work and so this didn't sound very suitable for me. So spending an additional £145 for a bulletproof Spec 2+ Clutch & Steel SMF rated to 450lbs to cope with stage 2+ seemed like a no brainer, going for Spec 3+ is only an extra £140 or so but that's only needed if looking to go above 450lbs with a bigger turbo and internals etc.
I am by no means a sales rep for Ultra Rev, but thought I would just share the great deals they offer for Spec clutches to save people being let down by the Organic clutches which have been proven to not cope in some cases, or the Sachs & Loba SMF kit which has problems engaging/disengaging gear at high rpm whereas the Spec does not.
Cheers.
