Is this clutch any good?

    I am currently stripping down and rebuilding a 2000 plate vts engine and was wondering if this clutch is reliable

    Or would it be worth spending the extra and going for the Black Diamond one?

    Don't really want to spend money on parts that I won't notice the difference, I just want reliability.

    Oh okay, it's just that I've not heard of the make before. Do you know the difference in clutches between the mk1 and mk2 engines for clutches? My engine has the oil cooler if that helps?
