Upgrading a standard 4 plate clutch

I'm looking to upgrade my standard 4 plate clutch but not sure which is the best to go for?
The ones I'm looking at are LTH, MB or Reedspeed?
The LTH + one seems pretty good but can you get spare plates?

why? I upgraded mine on a 186 reedvalve GT186 triport engine with TSR expansion, I simply fitted vespa springs over lammy ones.

My clutch isn't working quite right, I suspect bent steels so I'm going to replace them and thought I might upgrade the lot while I'm at it.

I got some LTH plates (4 plate) and some uprated springs from Lambretta Upgrades. 23 BHP and no slip, been in over 2 years now.

Sounds like a reasonable option
Are they the LTH + or LTH cork plates

+1 for the Readspeed kit. I swapped the springs for MB ones ( personal preference ) and it works a treat. Been in a 20bhp Imola motor for a few years now. No slip or drag.

Another one using the Reedspeed 5 plate with Granturismo springs in 2 of my Lambrettas, no slip issues so far
