I was just checking the prices of these on nengun today and they are £1200 delivered so I would imagine they will be a fortune for a uk company now Carbon version is nearer £1600

Foreign exchange rates haven't helped at all! Am lucky I secured my carbon one through Mark at Lateral a few weeks ago!

Holly molly, how much!!? Craps, guess there's not a cheaper option, not for reliable and slip free driving...rats, means gearbox build is even longer away.
Cheers all.

If my experience of API was anything to go by then I have no hesitation in pointing you their way!
David told me the dreaded judder many claim to be a 'subaru trait', would be gone and he was right!

in the next couple of months i shall be seeing dave @ API to get an exedy clutch and lightened flywheel just hoping that buying both at the same time might result in a bit of a discount

I have heard great things about the uprated exedy clutch you can buy from Dave, just send him an email or give him a quick call, hes a very helpfull guy.

For ease of use, reliability, and longevity, I would be recommending an Exedy twin plate clutch for anything much over 450ftlbs, and certainly for over 500ftlbs.
