Clutch recommendations

Post by InsanityGR »

Hello guys!
I'm Alex, new to the forums and new to the GTI world!
Just bought my first VW, a 6C Polo GTI with the 6 speed manual transmission but unfortunately the clutch is slipping (thankfully noticed before buying so a better deal had to be made :P ).

The car is a stage 1, dynoed at 257ps and 422Nm of torque, so I'm not really sure what clutch kit should I install. I was thinking about the Sachs performances kit , but I do not plan on upgrading any more in the near future, thus I do not want to spend so much money on a performance kit that I'm not going to utilize 100%.

What clutch kit do you guys recommend that could handle the mentioned torque numbers and won't brake the bank? Thanks in advance!

Get the Sachs Performance kit.
Why do the job twice?
