Happy to report no issues with The New cluth. Feels exactly like The OEM one

I know most of the posts here are showroom floor cars with a ots tune, not a ton of legit builders on these older cars, but i thought I'd share my experience with my B7 RS4 LUK rep set clutch. I put in a performance clutch on a B5 1.8t about 5-6 years ago after a build I did pushing around 450, immediately slipped on the "performance" clutch. couldn't hold higher load gears. Ended up swapping in a 240mm ECS RA4 single mass lightweight flywheel with a B7 RS4 clutch and Pressure plate. (Just have to drill the pilot holes on the pp out to 10mm and shim the flywheel out ~2mm or so for a EPIC low dollar performance clutch.) I've been thrashing this with everything from a much larger custom hybrid k04 @30 psi, an EFR 6758 turbo, A custom hybrid Holset hx35/hx40 pro (BIG turbski) bigger than my head and im a huge dude. Then a handful of small/medium frame (gt 2871r) and some pretty large T3/T4 hybrids with IE Tuscany rods on a 1.8t trying to find the sweet spot between performance and drive ability (read.. lag) this clutch has been absolutely beat. Absolutely. 2 step launches for years, clutch kicks, tons of dig launches and drags that cost me cracked rear subframes or destroyed transmissions (it's a transmission boneyard in my shed lol) I recently sheared my timing belt pulley clean off.. too much sauce, and pulled this motor again to throw a new head, turbo and transmission in. It's my stupid fun car. Was surprised to find this clutch disk in such good condition. TONS of life left in it. Cost like 150 bucks off rock auto. LUK repset B7 Rs4 clutch and pressure plate. For anyone looking to push some serious power, this is a SOLID option for the budget minded individual. I'm throwing one on my B5 S4 as well after seeing this. Was going to go big because it's a stg 3 at 27 psi and the stock clutch can't handle it, but after seeing this. And having made more power than that I am sold. Great upgrade if you need to replace your clutch. It is a 240mm clutch so make sure it fits or you'll need to upgrade your flywheel too. But dang.. I'm tickled pink
I put a LUK clutch kit in and replaced all the seals and such not too long ago. Shifts fine, least for an 020 anyway.
Okay so i have a 93 mk1 cabriolet and i have just replaced the clutch about 6 months ago with a LUK clutch kit from rockauto. Recently ive noticed that when i give the car more than 50% throttle the rpms continue to increase but the car gains almost no speed.
The 065 is basically like a stock clutch kit. I have the 065 behind my 01' XJ 4.0L linked with an ax-15.
Ordered the LuK RS4 Clutch Kit from ECS tuning.
Its not a bad clutch kit for the price, perfect for a chipped car. Just not meant as a performance clutch, the disc will fail 1st.
I pulled and replaced a low mileage Sachs for a LUK. The Luk sure seemed to be a higher quality part.
I just installed a Luk "rep set" clutch kit with a brand new flywheel and it has been excellent so far, Luk was the oem for VW and my original clutch/flywheel/disc/throwout bearing were ALL marked "Luk" on them. I can confidently; recommend Luk if you want to stick with the stock clutch assembly. The original clutch has the quietest and smoothest clutch feeling, original style performance.
I replaced the disc with LUKs kit and also had my flywheel resurfaced to be safe. The new set-up has about 300 miles on it and continues to slip. Most noticeably around 2700 - 3400 rpm in 3rd and 4th gear. I can feel it seem to slip then catch and gain a magical 15 hp. I have not allowed the clutch to slip enough to have glazed the clutch disc so that's not a possibility, and my "auto" adjusting clutch cable seems to be okay (I can push the transmission arm downwards and the clutch cable spring returns it to the 9 o'clock position). Proper torque specs and sequence were followed and everything was extremely clean upon installation. Also there are no leaks so there is no fluid getting on the disc. New clutch disc, re-surfaced flywheel, new rear main seal, new pressure plate.
