Default clutch

for sierra cossie. I plan to run about 350-450bhp in a near future. And now my clutch sometimes slipping and I need to change it. Car for road use mainly but sometimes for drag and drift at weekends.
What can you advice by your experience? What about "clutch specialist's" clutch or organic exedy or may be organic AP or OMP?
May be one brand has good plate another better clutch cover...
Thanks!

Not a for sale post but I do have an as new AP organic fast road clutchplate for sale. I had it for sale a while back but no interest. I wouldn't mind sending it to you either if you covered postage costs.

Cheers
Dan

Next time you plan to buy AP organic formula kit CP2000?
Can anyone experience whith cover from this kit?
I think AP organic plate whith that uknown cover can be not better then AP organic plate whith std motorcraft cover? may be Im wrong...

sorry,i´ve got no experience with organic clutches,
i only used 4paddle in my frst and 4-6paddle in my cossi,

organic clutches lives much longer,
paddle destroy flywheel and pressure plate!
and perhaps engine mounts
