Which clutch kit should I use?

[rosphill]

I am prepping to install an M50 with a Getrag 250 tranny and upon separating them the clutch doesn't look so good.
I've been looking at the Ebay F1 clutch kit which I like the price, and the Bimmerworld Sachs clutch kit that is pricier and they are secretive about listing what all comes with it.
Anyone have any suggestions of the best kit ?
Thx

I actually haven't heard any bad things about the F1 kits yet, I almost went with one for my s52 but ended up buying a sachs oe clutch and pp instead. I bought my sachs kit from an ebay store though not bimmerworld and it was almost only like $10 more than the stage 2 F1 kit.

Ya I am leaning towards the F1 clutch kit.
One thing I am curious about, My flywheel has all this crud from the clutch on the surface of flywheel that contacts clutch plate. What can I use to clean that stuff off with?

You should (SERIOUSLY) get your flywheel resurfaced when you put a new clutch in dawg.
That said if you have the stock dual mass most machine shops won't touch it. It might be a decent idea to upgrade to a light weight flywheel. That F1 racing site includes a steel light weight for $100 in their kits I would highly recommend it.

Yeah, I was thinking it would be nice to get the old flywheel cleaned up professionally, and then I thought it would be easier just to get a whole new flywheel.
I noticed that the new flywheel in the F1 kit weighs less than the original stock one. If you change the weight of the flywheel wouldn't you have to change the harmonic balancer/crank pulley so the engine doesn't get out of balance??

This is the kit that looks to be the best deal so far.
