Default best deal on clutch rs focus

Just up the power on the focus its around 300torques and clutch is slipping. Not going for much more power.

So need a new clutch looking for a good one at a good price.

Also is the mk1 rs focus solid flywheel?

Thanks

organic will do


Partbox were doing organic clutch plus release bearing for 480 delivered which is a cracking price.

Whats your price matt?

add in cost of release bearing aswell mate,while the box is off its stupid not to change it. could cost you more in long run if it goes and you need to take box off again.

You going to fit it yourself? I certainly agree matt Lewis will give you a good price, but if you go to a specialist like demon performance or scc they will fit it for you, and probably do it quicker than a normal garage and save some cash

paul and leighton at sabre will look after you,even email them on the rsoc and see there supply and fit cost.
anywhere can fit a clutch as its just a focus at the end of the day but specialists like sabre will look after the car and not cut corners. most garages dont know that the hose to the fuel canister needs to be removed or it cracks it.many a post on rsoc about people having clutches done and there car idles crap after it all because there local garage hasnt disconnected that hose
