    Well i just put this: Commodore vt vx vy Clutch Kit & Flywheel 5.7 LS1 HD | eBay in my car couldn't recomend it enough Drives just like a stock clutch at low revs no hopping or stuttering an with all the bite of a HD clutch. I have the normal mods OTR,mafless full zorst.

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    word is those $395 OEM spec clutches aren't good

    if you run close to stock, then fine but yeah don't expect them to hold up if you got a heap of rwkw

    2001 VX HSV Clubsport R8 Modified to 303.6rwkw - 20+ track days @ Eastern Creek, Oran park(B4 it closed down...) & Wakefiled over 3 yrs... I reckon I got a great "STOCK" clutch then....

    the biatche just let go a 2 weeks ago and I'm going for a GM LS7 clutch with a LS2 flywheel & slave $945 + going to fit it myself.
