Default Eurospec clutch

My mechanic is really pushing to install a Eurospec clutch in my car that has a 4 puck disc. Its getting a K04 Kit with a newer block. He says he can get it for 1300. Are these good clutches? Seams high for a clutch, but I'm not too keen on what makes a great clutch.




Reason being is he guarantee's his work up to a year and I think he's afraid of risking anything weaker.

Get a stage 3 from Vast instead - they know what they are doing and are known for quality stuff. Plus, it only costs about $800 after you send the core.

VAST stage 3 is $745 even before you send in the core for a "small credit". Second on VAST having great stuff though many don't care for the RS4 PP.

My original plan was just to use the 500 dollar RS4 clutch kit. Wouldn't this do just fine with a KO4 Kit? I'm just worried about the lightened fly wheel really. I've heard stories of chattering. Will idle be affected by a light flywheel?

I'm a tip driver, but I would avoid the RS4 pressure plate.

The Rs4 kit should be fine for a K04 build. The LW FW does not seem to have the problem with chattering on this model that some other cars experience. Everyone I know that has it seems to be very happy with it. The only reason I skipped it was because I was running low on funds...
