Clutch gone, what are my options?
My car is at the dealers and they want to replace my clutch since they say it's about to go. I would like to have a clutch with a higher performance rating over the stock one to handle my chipped A4. My problem is I'm in the Philippines and ordering an after market clutch will take too long (don't want to drive around in a clutch time bomb). Is there a higher rated OEM clutch from like a TT or an S4 that will fit the A4 1.8TQM?

Here are some of the off-the-top-of-my-head aftermarket clutches that you can look at:
-Neuspeed(available soon)
-APR
-AWE
-Centerforce
-Sachs
This is all I could think of, but you have to remember with an upgraded clutch you aren't going to get the same feel. You will probably have less pedal movement and it will require some more force to depress the pedal. It may sound like not a big deal, but I recommend you drive in a car with an upgraded clutch first. It may prove to be somewhat of a task until you get used to it.
My friend has upgraded his clutch in his Civic and the pedal literally moves in ~2.5" and it takes quite a bit of force. Personally, I don't know if I want to give up the stock spongy feel. It may be a bit high, but it feels smooth.
