   Do you mean there are 2 different makes of the clutch kit? Or that the same manufactor lists 2 different clutch kits for the same car, but different part numbers. I might be wrong but with yours been a 2000 and that was the change over between mark 1 and mark 2 cars there may be 2 different options for the car. If i remember right the flywheel pressure plate is different. Maybe someone else will know. Or contact Kam-Racing and ask them, thats another option.

   Agree totally. Most standard replacement clutches are a million miles away from the quality of a OE item. A real Valeo item is worth getting, there even a good price so why not lol.
