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

I have an ap paddle with a standard geniune ford cover and release bearing ,gives you a standard feel with a strong clutch

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.

Thanks Chaps, going to go for a CP2000-8 from what i've read.

then if i ever did, i got scope for a bit more power, suppose i best do mk5 mod too.

just fit the 4paddle helix or ap with std cover be done with it. after 3rd drive you will forget about it, will cope if you boost it up later on ;)
