A performance clutch kit will allow you to drive harder under increased power levels while making sure there is nothing lost to the drivetrain. If you track your vehicle or have raised the maximum horsepower through tuning or modification, chances are you will see increased benefit by installing a high performance aftermarket clutch.
Dual-mass flywheels allow for fluid-feeling clutch engagements and offer a more luxurious feel than single-mass flywheels. However, with these benefits come significant drawbacks. Dual-mass flywheels are expensive, with the cost of replacement often being double or triple that of converting to a single-mass flywheel. Single-mass flywheels can be resurfaced, eliminating the need to replace them with the next clutch service, something that is not recommended with dual-mass flywheels as they contain a rubber section that is more failure-prone in high-mileage applications. Single-mass flywheels lack the complexity of dual-mass flywheels, making them inherently more reliable. Dual-mass flywheels contain a rubber damper or hub that will, like all rubber components, wear out with time. Also, Many enthusiasts prefer to eliminate BMW's "Self Adjusting Clutch", which has been known to provide an unpredictable, inconsistent engagement point. Valeo's conversion kit has been designed to maintain nearly identical clutch and flywheel weight, ideal for keeping the clutch quiet and easy to drive.
