You might want to consider combining the (pretty decent) stock 2L 16v
clutch (old style, not A3 superceed) with a high performance pressure
plate.  I actually have that Sachs sport pressure plate, and the set
up really hooks up, and isn't too difficult to work for street use...but
the effort is significantly higher then stock, but clamping seems
dramatically more 'positive'...somewhere between the stock slippyness
and the on/off of a racing clutch.

Except for the fact that the sport plate appears much much more heavy
duty...I don't know.  I bought mine from Mike so I don't believe I paid
quite so much.
