Default What Clutch????

A mate needs a new clutch for his s2.It's running around 180 bhp.He wants the power of a paddle clutch but the usability of a standard clutch.
Any ideas.?

Wouldn't we all. No such thing as a clutch that will handle power but be like a standard clutch.

180bhp will be fine on an AP Organic, or better still Helix Organic.
