Default What Clutch?

Hi folks,

Just wondering what options I have for a clutch for my 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth.

It's running 373bhp & 460lbs/FT.

It was starting to spin the standard clutch just before I took it off the road for winter so I now need to address this problem.

Was looking at 6 paddle kits but been told I will ruin the drive of the car? What other options are there? Organic?

CheeRS for the help

Go organic, pretty civilised. With a stronger cover.
Paddles are great for launching, just a bit of a pig in standing traffic.

I'd go organic. My mate has a 6 paddle in his 2wd saph and its horrific in traffic. Was in a queue for a show last year and he looked like a learner driver puling away and he was getting proper stroppy with it lol
