Default Clutch recommendations

I currently have a paddle clutch fitted in my S2, make unknown as no details were supplied when i brought the car. All i know is that when i try to pull away it is shaking the car and looks like the dash is going to end up on my lap !

Maybe a problem with clutch setup components ??

But looking at changing it as it is doing my head in especially after sitting in that hour long queue to get out of classic ford !

What are people recommendations for a clutch to cope with around 200bhp that is user friendly ??

Ap paddle plate, and standard release bearing and cover ,gives you a nice pedal and no shake ,works lovely at that power level

Or the Organic range from AP are also a good choice.

the helix organic is fine at 244bhp and may not fall to pieces like the ap 4 paddle does

The Helix will certainly take the power but I find it heavier and a lot more grabby if you know what I mean?! lol

ok iff you run them with a 30% stiffer cover or standard cover mate I think ,
the helix cover is heavy yes my missus backside leaves the seat now trying to engage the helix 6 paddle with uprated cover
