Default ERST clutches and power limits

I've got a brand new uprated LUK clutch to go in my 1.8ZVH when I get round to dropping it in, but I'm now wondering if I should go for a 4 paddle...

The main thing putting me off a 4 paddle is people have said its a hard drive with one, but I'm willing to sacrifice that if it will cope with launches and gearchanges better

Does anyone know the rough power limit of a semi organic clutch?

Any pros or cons for a 4 paddle?

all this talk about 4 paddles being a bit of a mare... Personally, Ive never had a prob with my AP 4 paddle jobby. Doesnt slip, is not that bad in traffic..

Those LUK ones arent that bad.. 180 I would say is the limit Then get an organic or paddle

I'm aiming for around 220bhp so will the LUK one just die then?
