Managed to lunch another clutch so need another. Anyone recommend a high performance m10 clutch that can cope with the m30 lump?

There's a Oem Sachs one here which you may be able to steal as a quick fix, not sure how long it would last though, isnt there a stronger pressure plate out there? like you can get for M20's?

The one everyone uses is from ebay with no bad reports but iirc there about £250.

That's the one I used.

If you can find an S14 E30 M3 flywheel then you can apparently use an M20 clutch inside the M10 box. I have an M20 paddle clutch and M3 flywheel incase I ever get around to doing an E30 M30 again.

From what i have seen all the "uprated" clutches are usually just a stock saches or luk pressure plate that has sometimes had some heat treatment to it and then painted a fancy colour, with the clutch disc of your choice. Especially for something like an m10 where not many people would be after big holding power (they might use a stock pressure plate but totally rebuild the pressure plate with uprated pressure plate fingers ect on a more popular model that has a bigger market)

I bought a spec clutch kit for an m10 and you can see where they have filed off the saches logo and have left some other numbers on the pressure fingers.

I can see why an m10 clutch wont hold up to abuse from an m30, sitting them side by side to an m20 pressure plate there is a pretty big size difference in pressure plates.
