Default What clutch should i use in my 2WD cossie??

Hi hope you can help me out i want to find out what clutches are recomended for my car as i put a standard borg and beck in a few month ago, but i lost drive suddenly and found out the center friction plate has broken up inside, so now looking at what to buy?

The car is a 2wd yb running 280 bhp.

Im runnin 330bhp, i use a ap 6 paddle with a standard clutch housin, takes all the abuse with the added advantage of the standard clutch housin makinin it usable in traffic and around town,
if u go 4 this combo it means u wont have 2 up grade later when u get the urge 4 more power

I've got an AP Racing 4 Paddle item with standard housing and mines only got about 220BHP (If I'm lucky) I had a Stage One Organinc item that only lasted a few months

Its not to bad round town now I've got used to it, can still be a pain at times though (I have on my list of things to add a Hyd Clutch conv.) espcially if I haven't driven it for a while.
