Anybody used this clutch kit from Paragon and what do you think of the pricing?

Dhicks, Just had this installed. Highly recommend them. Pricing is great, product is factory LWF setup and operation is like stock re: pedal feel, etc. Of course spool up of motor and all the benefits of LWF are better than stock. No noise at all (I have maxflows but still can't hear chatter at idle) and easy to use for everyday driving. Jason at Paragon did say he was thinking of raising pricing because he knows Gert's prices are higher due to euro/dollar. Anyway big thumbs up for product and vendor.

I assume be fitted, meaning installed. Yes, my guy charged me 750 -800 for installing the clutch. I think it took 10-12 hours of time if I recall from bill. They have to drop engine to do the job. He did a few other things but I think a range of 600-850 would be a reasonable bill (guess at least to me based on seeing him do it) for replacing a clutch. This also gives you more than enough opportunity to spend three times that with mods. Seriously, should also replace power steering belt (cheap to buy and install) as only way to replace it is with engine out. Depending on leak issues with valve covers this is also relatively cheap to buy and have done. Finally cleaning or replacing ISV valve should also be done. Cleaning is cheap, replacing is little costly if have to buy new. Others replace or inspect more once engine is out, but the above should be addressed. Hope this helps. Rk
