Default organic or paddle clutches?

i have a helix 4 paddle in my s2 running 200 brake, only done 1500 miles in it, and fucking hate it, bites so low right near thr floor, and horrible to drive round town etc, are the organic a easier clutch to drive with?

feel much lighter and no where near the same either on or off feel
dont take the same power as a paddle but with only 200bhp it should be up to the job
(as long as its not a techni-clutch lol)

You'll get used to it mate, had paddle in my S2 and have one now in the 3 door and don't find them any worse to drive than a "normal" one in my mondeo. You get a bit of judder when you first move off but that's all, and its not like an S2 has rolls royce like comfort in all other areas.

I had an AP Organic in my S2 & its was very good. Never had a car with a paddle so can't compare, the organic had far better bite than the standard clutch. I'm sure the organic would cope with 200bhp but any performance clutch supplier could advise you.

I ran the AP organic clutch in my 1.9+ s2, had 240bhp and did 10k trackday miles in it, never missed a beat.

Never launched it at all which is the big killer apparantly!
