Default WHAT CLUTCH STANDARD OR UPRATED

Hi i have a saph cossie 2wd and needs new clutch.
it runs stage 1 just under 270bhp. what cluth would be best. ie last longer etc

a) standard clutch

b) organic

c) paddel.

i would say paddel as i dont use the car every day etc. but my dad insists that a standard one is just as good.

so wat do you think. please post you thoughts!!!

I see no justification for a paddle on 270bhp, just get an uprated organic one.

I only ever use paddle clutches when i have to do so, they are nowhere near as nice to live with as an organic clutch and also they wont last as long in traffic etc before you replace them again.

if your not going for n e more power than stage1 power go with a std kit m8.

ps clutch's life span has alot to do with the driver m8
