AP 4 Paddle?
Only if you want to ruin the driveability of the car (for fast road / normal driving). Worst thing i ever did to mine - way to harsh for normal road use IMO. An uprated organic or even a 6 paddle from EARS motorsport would be better; see...

I'd fit an AP fast road clutch if I was you. Doesn't affect the drivability and that is what Tim 'Butch' used on his grey one
