Need help with clutch!!!
sambott on here can get you what you need. dcb motorsports also and sachs itself
clutches for normal single disc are pretty simple. i agree with Tim EBS racing is who most of the shops you have work on your cars order their engine parts as they stock most porsche related stuff.
you have 4 types of clutch disc material each has their own benfit and downfalls.
Organic (stock) can be sliped easy but will recover well to abuse but cant hold alot of pressure, aftermarket masks this with double to triple stock clutch pressure plates. usually stage 1 or 2 clutches.
Fiber Tuff dont hear about it much but great product from my expereince but it will eventually slip on these cars in the 700-800 range. with the right clamp load it will make it this high.
Kevlar has decent bite but if your burn/slip it alot it wont like it can glaze over but it will take a beating and definately grips better then organic in my expereince.
then theres ceramic, grips great but chatters and doesn't slip worth the damn its load and annoying but will grip and is alot cheaper then a twin/triple disc unit.
then you get into the exotic twin and triples each are quite different and usually hold alot better then the singles and are quieter in operation.
but any time you take the dual mass flywheel out it will rattle at idle.
dual mass flywheel are not impossible to resurface its just very challenging so its better if the car has alot of miles on it to buy a new dual mass flywheel.
so you guys know there are multiple custom clutch shops throughout the usa, that will take your stock pressure plate, or an oem style unit modify the fulcrom point, (adds clamping force) make a new disc up in your choice of material. and spit it out in half a day for most of the time under a few hundred dollars. But in this you might have some issues with where the pedal travel is if your modifying the stock pressure plate too much.
I used to have custom clutches made for me for japanese import cars, rather then ordering ACT clutches for almost 3 times the price retail.
all this being said i have a triple disc big daddy clutch in the box for my car, as i will surpass the holding capacity of a single disc clutch some day.

So I'm intrigued in the ERP clutches that have been mentioned. Beyond its ability to handle torque and abuse, how much more clutch life are we talking about than the average single plate?
