I don't have experience of KAP Heavy duty ones but I do have experience of cheap Ebay ones (around £70), these may be ok for light road use but the moment you put any strain on them they quickly destroy themselves :(

Therefore I would suggest it is worth paying more for the clutch rather than less.

I have a KAP Heavy Duty clutch fitted, and all I can say is "WOW" ...
I have the 4 paddle competition clutch and since fitting, ive done some pretty rough offroading and its never once slipped.

The last cheapie clutch I had before, I burnt out in 3 months, but, 12 months later, this one is still going strong, dispite recovering various landrovers and cars thoughout the winter.

The 4 paddle clutch is very vicious though, slipping the clutch is verry difficult, and when driving around town, the bite can catch you out if your not expecting it.

Personally, I love it ... the wife however hates it because there is no lee way .. its Binary .. on or off !!

In my mind though, well worth it
