Default Best clutch for S2

Currently got a 4 paddle with no probs at all apart from every now and then it slips a little

Done a few good miles so not too bothered..

The car gets used daily and was just wondering if there are any better alternatives out there..

someone mentioned that there is a 6 paddle out for the RST but Ive driven a Saff and EVO with 6 paddles, and hate them

AP-racing just announced a new organic clutch that takes 310Nm instead of the previous 230Nm that their heavy-duty RST clutch was rated at.

As above really, I know karl / tim use the AP Organic clutch (CP2008-8) on the 1600s with no problems...............

Should be nicer for every day driving too...

Westy,

I believe the CP2000-8 is the part no for the full kit.

Taken from AP's website :
CP2000-8 This clutch kit is recommended for road use and is supplied with an uprated cover assembly & organic driven plate

Worth looking into the CP2000-35 which is the new kit they have released with a higher torque rating....
