Did everyone's clutch come with the pressure plate bolts? For some reason my didn't. But, my Sachs flywheel came with the flywheel bolts.

Are you trying to order separate? You can get the part # from any vendor that sells the kit.
Mine did not.
Hey Russiankid - from where did you purchase the pressure plate bolts / do you have the part # ?

I'll be getting mine from DAP. But you can get them from your VW dealer.

I believe I got them from an online dealer, I will have to check my excel sheet when I get home.
Just an update to my OP - I am now at over 30k miles on the Sachs SRE clutch kit and APR Stage 1 LO - with no issues. I re-used the stock flywheel. Chatter is minimal at idle with my foot off the clutch (my stock clutch also chattered in this scenario). I've done a bunch of "hard" driving, a few launches, and lots of traffic.
Edit: And yes, I put a crazy amount of miles on my car

Any updates? How are these holding up?
Would this handle apr stage 2 power?

I got one of these installed as well and it is really good for daily driving.
I had a dual mass flywheel with 3k miles on it and reused it. Should that cause premature wear? Thanks

Anyone else wondering how this clutch does I made a video reviewing it. installed at roughly 7-8k mi ago. stock flywheel, stock TOB, Full E85 on custom tune and its holding up pretty well so far
I track and autocross my car, and this is my expected choice when the stock clutch starts to die. I'm on EQT stg 1 91 Oct with 14,000 miles, 10,000 with tune. The trick to extending the life of the stock clutch is no WOT from low rpms in 4th, 5th or 6th gear. So far, no slip at all with hard use.
Just a point of reference for those on stock clutch still and a tune.

Good point. Use 3rd gear to accelerate and pass.
