Sadly my UK standard clutch has gone the distance and i thought about getting the STI one to cope with my mods. ive got prices for just the clutch for £349 then £80-100 for fitting, does that sound good or not?
thanks Sy

The fitting price is good IMHO given the work involved. Subaru clutches are a bit mysterious, some standard ones hold incredible torque and others fail easily. If you want a smooth drive like stock especially in traffic jams, then you need an organic type clutch. AP (from Demon Tweeks), Lateral Performance and others on the Scoobyshop can supply you a clutch which is claimed to take more torque than any of the Subaru items for similar price, but they are still smooth to drive. Not sure if the STi clutch is an uprated version of the Xede standard one or not, but the aftermarket ones I mentioned are widely respected. The deal you have found is not bad, and the clutch would probably wear well if you are not putting more then 300lbft through it.

sti one is fine for only minor mods on a uk car i would say.
the organic ap retails approx £346 + VAT plus the release bearing is an extra £63.99 + vat RRP so it starts to add up a bit.
Helix is a similar tho cheaper alternative as the release bearing is included in the price, and if you're after running more than 300 horses i would say lateral performance all day long
ps dont forget to get the flywheel checked and skimmed or replaced if necessary depending on condition.
