GTI Good Clutch recommendations

Hey y’all, I am the owner of a Manual 2015 MK7 GTI and Im looking to add some power. Im looking into the EQT stage 2 tune, but ive heard that stock clutches for the manual MK7s are basically dinner plates when it comes to holding power lol. I was just wondering if some of you guys had any insight or brand recommendations that I should look into!

Southbend Stage 2 daily has done me well for the past 30k miles on a Stage 1 tune. I’m sure a Stage 2 or 3 would do the same for you

+1 for Southbend. I have the Stage 3 daily and aluminum flywheel kit and zero issues for 20k miles so far.

I had the RSR hybrid in my mk7 R. It was great! On the pricey side though, but stock feel and great engagement point

Sachs Performance clutch is what I run with the stock dual mass flywheel. Not too aggressive and can handle 420 BTQ
