Default Which Clutch to Buy for B5 (2001) S4??

Does anyone have any input in reviews or personal experience on clutch kits? Mine is starting to go and needs to be replaced asap! The only mods are an intake, exhaust, 710N diverter valves, and soon-to-own (hopefully) GIAC or APR chip so nothing too crazy. I am considering just buying a RS4 clutch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank You!

rs4 clutch would be perfect if you drive it daily with those mods; depends if you're looking for something a bit stronger though

you could always get the RS4 pp and then choose a clutch, go kevlar or stage 3 or stage 4...

No way, do not go with the RS4 clutch, yeah its great and works fine, but if you ever don anything else or want to drop the clutch harder one more time get something else, stage 2 or 3, cause seriously in the end you'll want something stiffer and better, why not spend 100-150 more for something really good?

x2 on recommendation to at least seriously considering moving beyond RS4 clutch. I went with an RS4 clutch with a stage 3- setup and am now full stage 3 and all I can say is good luck launching with it. With that said many seem to be happy with RS4 clutch, so if you aren't going stage 3 and don't want to launch the car aggressively, then you will probably be happy with it. However if I could do it over I'd go straight to something like the VAST stage 3 Kevlar clutch and, while I'm covering mistakes, I'd have gone with the LWFW too.

or like i said.. go RS4 pressure plate so you retain most of the stock pressure and feel and then upgrade the clutch disc. you can get everything separate from 034motorsports (pp) and southbend clutch (stage 4 ceramic).
RS6 turbos and i have no problem whatsoever on launches...
