Default AP Vs Alcon

Hi guys just killed the clutch on my cossie, looking at a 6 paddle one now, im running about 360 lb/ft any suggestions on which company to go with? Not much price difference, both around £400. Ordering today so just a quick input required. Cheers

Have had both in mine, if on a cable system I'd go for the Alcon as it has a lighter pedal feel - both clutches are capable at this level I have found, although some say the AP tends to last longer.

Have you tried Mike R for a price on the clutch?

I had an Alcon 6 paddle clutch with standard cover on my 360bhp 3dr and it was fine. Very light and drivable at slower speeds aswell..

Ideal thats all i wanted to know, have ordered an Alcon one now. I've just had an organic AP clutch in and it didnt last long at all, spun the splines out. Just wanted to make sure there wasnt any hidden nasties with the Alcon 6 paddle. Cheers
