I've noticed that LUK clutch kits in general, regardless of make/model, are typically cheaper. Why? I'm not sure, but on the other hand, I haven't heard of anyone having issues. I do know a few people who have put them into their 996, and no complaints. Seems like those who have tried their LUK (haha) have been okay so far. Like yourself, I was interested in a B5 S4 that needed a clutch kit, and the LUK was the cheapest at $750 vs. OEM at $2500. Something was amiss and I passed on the deal.
