Default RS Turbo Helix 6-Paddle Clutch Kit

I have for sale a BRAND NEW boxed Helix 6-Paddle clutch kit. This is one of the only decent clutch kits available for the RST. It hasn't even been out of the boxes. Includes Pressure Plate, 6-Puck Friction Plate and Release Bearing.

I'm after £295 plus postage for this, so a good saving over buying it normally.

How do these compare to the AP items Christian?
A bit overkill for a cvh turbo still on MFI?

I think they are a fantastic alternative to AP. I find the AP is very heavy in terms of pedal feel by comparison.

Is it overkill? Well, that depends on how you drive it as much as anything. Town/daily driven low/mdoerately powered RST, then maybe this isn't for you. Weekend/occassional use RST that you like to drive hard, then this is the right clutch.

Cheers, once built it'll run around standard power for a while then i'll up it when i get bored, on standard internals new build so about 170 to 190bhpish

Use will be every other day, mainly motorway miles but a bit around town too.
