Default Looking for a new clutch

I am running the APR stage 1V2 software and I feel that I am just not putting down all the power with my stock clutch, I am also tired of having to downshift just to avoid that minor vibration when in higher gears when I am looking to make a pass on the highway. Can anyone reccomend a good clutch and where I can get it. Also around how much should it cost to get it installed. I am not looking for something to aggressive but something with better holding power and a somewhat stock feel. Thanks

Southbend HD OFE is very friendly and milder than the SS OFE.

Default I believe Southbend has the ability to resurface the Audi DM flywheel...

But it would mean having the car apart while they do it. Do you need a flywheel? Probably not. On the other hand the labor associated with the clutch can be a bit expensive and it may be cost effective to just go ahead and replace everything at once. Up to you and your financial situation. Stick with the stock flywheel. Don't go lightweight. cheers! mike
