My friend had that exact clutch in his car. It always performed well never slipped. Was putting down about 270rwhp. Only problem he had was that he was always breaking the pivot for the clutch fork wich i think comes from the pressure plate being so stiff. I have heard of other people having this problem as well. Other then that, he loved it. Hope that helps.
