A AP (or any other non techni-clutch fast road item) fast road/organic clutch kit would be spot on IMO....not as harsh as a paddle which is also not needed for your power levels. Im gonna be running a AP racing organic on my T35/Greys set up...had enuff of paddle clutches in the past.

Might also be an idea to go for the 6paddle, I think it depends on your future plans

what are the paddle clutches like to use on the road?its a not an everyday car so i wouldnt really mind if it'll be a bit harsh so long as it'll stand up to some abuse.would a paddle with a std cover be a good all rounder,or should i just go for the ap organic with heavy duty cover?
sorry for all the questions.
cheers,

Shane

I use Sachs organic clutch. I have tried several different cluthes, but i think this is the best so far. Almost no judder, and i weights over in agood way so you feel when the clutch is released. Very good.
