Sourced an ADL blueprint clutch kit last week from a place called ABS in Oldham.
Has transformed the car... smooth now with no judder and looks very well made.

Hope this helps.

will their clutchs fit a my95 wrx import?
does the flywheel need to be skimmed?
i am amazed at the prices from the links as i was quoted nearly 500 euro over here in dublin for the clutch kit...

yes clutch is the same to about 99 I think when they changed to a larger flywheel.

I changed my original clutch at 124,000miles and didn't skim the flywheel as it looked okay.. borg and beck is not juddering but original was.

Depends if you are that fussed about judder as usually it is due tothe flywheel being uneven or deposits form the clutch burnt on it I think.
