what is your thoughts on second clutches?

would you go for any of the above 3?

and does that trd kit look like it has a lightened flywheel or not?

that blitz one looks very good.second hand clutches are ok, but its similar to buying second hand brake discs.

personally i wouldnt buy one unless it was from a mate whom i knew well so i knew how long it had been on the car and how it had been treated.

its up to you at the end of the day mate, you may buy one and be very happy!

Only if they were mega cheap and in really good condition. If it's been removed I would question why.

lol i would never buy a 2nd hand "performance" clutch, only if it was a oem unit brand new. why would you want a 2nd hander?

The price to have these delivers completely destroys any cost advantage of these, could buy new when you consider you have to pay £133 to post the thing!
