Helix also do a good clutch kit. Can't remember the code for it though.

I run the AP2000-35 organic clutch kit which comes with the heavy duty pressure plate.

I agree, I would also get the flywheel skimmed for the sake of 20-30quid

Is the AP Racing CP2000-8 just a straight swap for the stock clutch...?
