yes

Speak direct to http://www.helix-autosport.com/ web site is poor, or ebay.com as there is a compnay doing uprated clutches (search for e30) for about half the uk price.

well never tried the clutches, but had some brakes off them and they were pretty good. i dont think u want a button type clutch living in london with all that traffic 20% more grab sounds like a good amount.

A std OEM 325i clutch is good enough for over 200bhp in an E21. Just make sure you use the E21 release bearing.

For the most you'll get from a NA M20 use a 325i centre plate with a Sachs 618 cover plate.

For silly power like mine 330bhp. paddle centre with Sachs 618
