Default Best paddle clutch for 2WD...

I'm after a paddle clutch for A 2wd cosworth, whats best and where from?
Ideally looking for a 6 paddle with a lighter sprung pressure plate rather than the heavy duty cover...

Cheers Paul

Didn't think you could get Alcon paddles anymore?
Do you know where can I get one?

Do you mean the Helix's are lighter than the AP's?
Or the Alcons?
After some searching the name Matt Lewis keeps cropping up, good things....

I've got an AP 4 Paddle with a Helix Motorsport cover the best combo IMHO but you'll want a hydraulic conversion or huge leg muscles.

It's for a mates car but it'll be at least stage 3 power, 300-350hp,
Want something reliable that can take aggressive driving hence wanting a paddle.

I agree with Alcon 6 paddle (with Alcon cover) although I dont know if they´re still available. Had one on my previous setup and it felt like a standard clutch, was very happy with it. The Alcon cover will hold the power you want without problems.

I've got an AP paddle with a heavy duty helix cover as well. Much lighter pedal than the full AP setup I had before.
