IT doesn't usually get mentioned, because it's not very sexy and a bit of a killjoy, but I'll bring it up... Increasing tyre diameter reduces braking performance. When I stepped from 31's to 33's I really noticed the increased effort required to stop the vehicle in the same manner. I prefer...

I've done those with 6" in the rear and a BUS25 under the drivers seat. It satisfied me

No issues what so ever. My FTE is stock but I have been told my pressure plate is good for 1000nm. My wagon does not have a clutch booster and it is only very slightly harder to use than the stock 3F clutch. No issue though for my or my wife. As far as the H55F goes, I decided to stick with it...

I'm running a H55 behind an FTE. You can get a clutch kit to suit by contacting Direct Clutch Services and asking for Drew Clutch kits and clutch parts Australia | Clutch Repair Replacement Brisbane They supply across the globe so shipping is easily handled.

When I was an apprentice a teacher told us 60-70% of the breakdowns you do will be as a result of a repair someone has already performed. Glad you've got it fixed.
