My stock clutch is a LUK...
So far so good. They also have a "gold" version (read "performance") but I never saw a power rating.

I got the LUK Pro Gold a little over a year ago. I've been happy with it. I put out a dyno of 374 (to the wheels).

There are actually only a few companies that make clutches. Luk makes clutches for a lot of companies, factory clutches too so they know what they're doing.

fully agree! The more I try aftermarket products the more I understand why they are chaper that original parts. They are mostly crap!

I like the self adjusting pressure plate of the LUK clutches. I mean: it's normal to have this feature! Most aftermarket clutches don't have it: this means that once the disk wears off the distance disk-pressure plare will change, changing the engagement point also.
