Wrong and more wrong lol

Paddle would be overkill at only 210, I'd fit an AP Organic. It'll be a lot easier to live with. AP Paddles are horrible.

i agree when mine was running 220 ap stage 1 organic was fine, unless your after hard track use an launching at pod.

my car now running 250 with a new stage 2 ap clutch kit which is a 4 paddle with normal pressure plate an she started to slip on me coming on boost at croft this weekend just gone.

if your planning more power tho id suggest the new heavy duty organic clutch that way you wont have that horrible judder changing gear.

Yawn. A standard organic clutch and cover doesn't hold 200+ ft-lb for very long. Yes, IT WORKS, but not for anywhere near as long as a paddle will. Using an AP 4 paddle disc with a standard cover is a nice COMPROMISE. You get lots of friction and lots of life, assuming you can use a clutch properly.
