so you would recommend all OEM except the pressure plate?

twv5004 was saying RS4 clutch, pressure plate and flywheel.
If you're staying stage 1 or 2 and you don't drive it on the track, that is fine.

Interesting - "chatter". I guess I'll have to ask my wife because my setup is fine and she drives it everyday to work now. No issues.

Vast LWFW with new pulleys and EFK are noticeable mods when upgrading a clutch. The whole car runs better and is definitely worth it IMO.

So I will be getting all the pieces I need by buying this kit?

It looks like it, that should be a stage one upgrade with the RS4 parts ya? If im missing something please lemme know! Thanks again!

I can verify that they chatter. Just installed one with my VAST stage IV. It feels better though, so it's a question of whether the improvement makes up for the noise. I haven't made up my mind yet.

That should do it. When you press the pilot bearing in be sure to do it dry (no lube) and put it in the freezer for an hour - that will make your life much easier.

Call Jason at Addict Motorsport Design (AMD) in Woodinville. He does a lot of S4 builds and would be able to give you a recommendation on the clutch as well as an independent shop labor quote.
