if your not running huge boost you can go for a standerd clutch but if i was you id go foe a stage 1 paddle clutch. Give Woodford garage a ring they were very helpfull when i bought my clutch
I've always got on very well with AP organic clutches have one in my FRST and it seems good as gold. Bro has a AP paddle in his FRST and that's spot on and I use a Helix organic in my S2. Standard clutch is fine for up to about teh 200bhp mark some say higher but personally I wouldn't like to try it

dont give me the ahem cough Rick, i replied and asked you a question to which you didnt reply
THE ONES YOU SUGGESTED SOUNDS EXPENSIVE AND MORE THAN WHAT I NEED.... just incase you missed it the first time 
My mate kept a standard one in his and when he had it chipped he went through them for fun....had an ap paddle in my orion turbo.....that was only running about 160ish brake though....

as above my ap organic holds 220bhp and as had for 2 years
Well, here is my opinion on RST clutches.
Up to 200bhp - Good quality standard clutch
200bhp onwards - Used as a daily driver - AP Uprated Organic
200bhp onwards - Driven hard - AP 4-Paddle or Alcon 6-Paddle
In every case, a new clutch must be fitted with a new or refaced flywheel.
To fit a Paddle clutch onto a daily-driven car is asking for it not to last. They don't like the characteristics of this type of driving (hill-starts, stop-starts etc).
Although to fit an Organic onto a car that is abused isn't good either.
So, you have to make a choice or know the consequences.
In actual fact, my Alcon 6-paddle clutch is the nicest feeling uprated clutch I have used and is holding the power. OK, so it is really on the limit (it is blue at the moment), but it's doing OK.
