Default So, whats the clutch options nowadays???

It's been a while since i've had an RST needing a clutch,

i currently need a clutch for my S1 which is 160bhp, fitted a LUK o/e spec one and its not up to the job, don't want to fit a paddle, so just wondered what my options are please?

Thank you

At 160bhp a standard clutch should be ok, close to the limit but ok.
The AP CP2000-15 should be ok for that too, they underrate the torque a fair bit as it's only shows 142ftlb.
