    What clutch kit?

    Im trying to figure out what clutch kits/pressure plate assemblys people have had success with. Im doing an s52 w/ ZF transmission in my e30 FYI, and want a strong clutch that will last. I'll be running a garrett gt3582r at about 8psi planning (hoping) for around 400rwhp. Not sure if i need an stronger flywheel/clutch/pressure plate combo with this HP goal in mind. I was thinking about just going OEM and getting this....

    or save a little money and go with this...

    or something aftermarket like this...




    thanks for any suggestions.

      would the s52b32 flywheel not be sufficient? and i dont know if i shuld go with a "maybe". someone recommended the clutch net 6 puck with their red 2x pressure plate. looks like a viable option.

          K after reasearching and talking with others on e30tech and bimmerforums I think i've decided to go with the stock s52 flywheel with a southbend stage 3 clutch kit. I think this will be a good choice. People seem to like the feel of the SB clutch over the Clutchnet with red x2 pressure place. And i'd like to keep my original flywheel. Is there any neccessity in getting it refinished?
