The pressure plate does have springs which apply the clamping force (although not of the coil variety).

No cush springs in the friction plate though

The flywheel is fine, I changed the clutch last year and there are no judders.
To be honest the bloke who does the clutches does high preformance cars. I told him what I wanted as my clutch slips when I have to manouver the van an he said the kevlar plate material is the best for high tempratures.
think it maybe worth a try for £40, I`d be doing the job myself anyway so there is no labour an it doesnt take that long to change really

well the 3 litre clutch is a known upgrade infact vxhall did it themselves on the later cars, its easy to get and takes away the uncertainty of your upgraded clutch plate? and i wouldnt just rplace the driv en plate its false economy get a new pressure plate not matter which way you go, it will grip better!!

My assumption is that they are not needed because the dual mass flywheel does the same job (at 100 times the cost ::)).

I don't really know much about DMF, not heard of it before.  No doubt a bit of wikipedia/google will help :)

Whilst on this topic, what are the options for light weight flywheels on the omega?
I've been looking around and it seems you can use an aftermarket one for a Vectra B, combined with a different clutch.  Anyone know any more?
