Not sure about best (see tilton), but an excellent choice would be the Sachs GT3RS clutch package

I'm not doubting the ovrall great quality/setup people mention, but IMO RUF has the sickest lwfw/clutch setup. Its stock like drivability, no chatter, stock idle and transforms the revving/throttle response. Having gone through setup on my m3, and driving 2 turbo's with different setup I would spend the extra money for the ruf setup in a second!

I did the UMW set-up. Porsche OEM 964RS fw and the sachs parts. Fabryce/Ruf/UMW would all do you well....it will come down to cost and chatter tolerance. Now, I actually prefer the chatter....been to some LeMans events and my car sounds more like them....than before. Just me in a Walter Mitty moment I guess.

Note, I had to change the clutch after getting software.....no option. The LWFW as suggested by many here, locally in the PCA, some BMW racers, and from my doing the math....plus Kevin supported it. No regrets. If you are into more HP.....it is cheap HP (pseudo HP).

AIRjordan23 is infamous around these parts
have a 600-650 hp car and love my clutch. sachs motorsport plate + gt2 disk. oem dual mass flywheel.

pedal feel is just like stock, however can withstand so much more power and handles the added power well.

Call Louis at clutchmasters... get Dr. Jitsu's old set up... I think u need the flywheel.... ask Louis he will recommend per ur driving habits and expectations.... and its a cheap effective upgrade. Clutchmasters is used my Evoms drag cars... Eddie Bellows 1100 rwhp car etc... They are good at what they are doing.

To late....Miles from the UK is stealing...I mean buying, lol, my old set up for $675. It is a Sachs plus lt wt flywheel. It retailed for near 2K but help 580 rwhp all day long w/ absolutely no problems. It started to slip ever so slightly when I got up over 600 rwhp.

It chattered (so what...) and was definitely a leg workout. But what do you expect when you start getting into big power.
