All clutch for the FRS are made by AP

3 choices - standard item (Ford factory fit), uprated Organic version or 6 paddle version

AP did have a problem with the 6 paddles earlier in the year i believe as there was a batch with a machining problem - has since been solved though as the guys who bought them on the rsoc via a group buy have since had the items supplied to them

Only other option clutch wise for the FRS is the item made by exeddy which replaces entire clutch & flywheel setup but is not required unless FRS is running in excess of 400+ bhp/lbft torque - it also costs about Ł1k compared to the Ł300 odd for the AP item

There is another choice.

Exedy Hyper Single. Modular Clutch/Flywheel, a bit like a Twin-plate but with only one plate.
