Default What Clutch for 400+lbft applications?

Ive been looking at Exedy Stage 1 or stage 2 organic or ceremetallic.....do people have any thoughts? also best prices?

Most of the good ones ive seen will need to be imported from the states but are there any decent suppliers here in the UK?

Any advice appreciated....

(i do realise things like paddle clutches are pretty poo for road use but i dont use the car that much so am not too bothered if they will do the job...)

If you have a six speed box you could get a RCMS/AP 240mm organic clutch. It has held my setup to 1.7 bar and not slipped in drag use. It is a bit pricey.

First you need to produce 400lbft I think you are on borrowed time with your stock internals and that big a shot of the funny stuff...
