What's the differences between the RA4 kit and the Valeo?

This kit?

The Valeo kit is designed to be a cheap alternative for the very expensive stock DMF, it uses a stock size and weight flywheel flywheel and a pressure plate that's a decent amount stronger. The RA4 is a performance setup meant to hold much more power than stock while keeping as much driveability as possible.

Thanks Mad Cow.

What will I notice between my stock (and pretty worn from my crazy driving, the previous owner who used it to learn how to drive a stick shift, and having so many miles on it)

and the RA4?

Not much. I stalled it the first time I drove my car after I switched to the RA4 clutch. Its pretty similar to stock

It's pretty similar to stock in the feel of the pedal and everything, biggest thing is you'll be able to press on the gas without slipping lol. I stalled it getting it out of the garage we did the work at, and a couple times that day, but you get the hang of it very quickly since it is so close to stock
