How many miles did it last for you? I'd stick with an OEM one unless you plan on going K04 or bigger. Aftermarket clutches suck.

Lol... Only reason I clicked this thread was to make fun of the obvious mistake.

If your vin number begins with a w op, then it's Japanese.

Wut? If you're referencing US vin #s, then no. W is Germany.

Also looking for a clutch soon, i'm also 280 hp and 70k miles. Should i buy original one if i gonna stay with the k03 or should i upgrade to s2 clutch?
I think my fly wheel starts to get wick and the clutch is still fine untill now, are clutch master, spec and south bend (apr) are at the same level? (s2 clutch only - daily car).

Thanks

You'll be fine just getting a new oem clutch. You might even be able to take the clutch out and take steel wool to both the clutch and flywheel to knock the glazing off

Good luck

You know someone who did it with his oem cluth and fly wheel?
