I have the stage 1 F1 kit on my VR6 and also my 8v (G60 trans using this VR6 kit), it is a genuine Sachs pressure plate and TOB, only the disc is Japanese. The disc is made by ASCO, which is Aisin the same people who made several transmissions for VW/Audi. You are not getting junk by any means, the products are OEM brands.

SACHS Power Clutch Kit
Sachs VR6 Clutch Kit
Okay, transmission of power; I found a heavy duty Sachs clutch kit, it has 20% increased clamping force. Pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, push rod, bushing and seal, clutch cable and all new bolts, and the release arm just in case.
my currents mods on my 2.0L are: -16v Sach's pressure plate -16v Sach's clutch disc
Just put the stage 1 kit w/ 16.5 lb flywheel. HUGE DIFFERENCE! Throtle responce and acceleration are definitely improved.
I have it and love it (vr6/g60 flywheel combo) Its holding up fine and I have a ko4 wich puts out alot of torque low end and hasnt had any problems.
I got this setup from ecs tuning a few months ago when I rolled over 113k miles. Im not closing in on 121k miles and its help up fine. Not to much clutch chatter, and actually I prefer the pedal feel over my mkV.
i use to have vr6/G60 setup on my TDI running almost 500tq daily and it held for over 100k before starting to slip... and replacement disk were cheap..
I used a rebuilt clutch disc and had about the same thing happen. It wasn't a new Sachs disc and it wouldn't work because a part of it stuck out too far and it always rubbed on the pressure plate.
