Organic ones ain't up to much, I destroyed one in a couple of month in my old saff at stage 3 (approx 360 bhp). Fitted a 6 paddle and was sound, it could take the abuse lol
Sorry baz mine was 4x4, doh.

I had a standard clutch last 10k iny 3dr when it was running 340bhp. Just don't launch it too much and it will be alright.

I would go for a paddle clutch really as they can take the power - Alcon has a lighter pedal than ap

I ran an OMP (8 paddle iirc) plate with standard pressure plate and it was spot on. Light as a feather pedal and never slipped once.

Another of my Sapphs ran a Borg & Beck clutch and took loooooooads of abuse without any slippage.

My car now has an Alcon in it and that was fine too at 360ish bhp and pedal was nice and light too.

plenty of choice then cheers.
i say i only want around 330 bhp but i may end up wanting more for some daft reason.
not to sure on paddle clutchs are they as bad as everyone says for being on/off?
i tend not to thrash it everywhere just the odd burst and dont launch it off every set of lights.

As bigern said, use standard pressure plate and they ain't bad at all mate.

is the pressure plate what makes all the difference like??
