AP organic - but not perfect - at low gears you havee to be very smooth on the changes still- just Changed from a 4 paddle (that was a nightmare)
Cost is about £395 for the AP Organic - add on stuff like clutch release bearing and another bit- for around £90 and then add on the labour - circa £200 = £685
You may be better off cost wise with a Helix clutch which are supposed to bee as good - Pstation in Cheltenham do these - they charged me £160+ vat to swap the clutch (AP) which I thought was good value

I can recommend the Helix clutch.
Scoobysport fitted one for me about six months ago, no more judder and no problems.
I've not really given it much abuse and can't comment on the long term wear, but it works just as you'd expect for day to day driving.
As for price I had a load of other things done at the same time so you'll have to call them.

like i said mine was £750 inc VAT and all the stuff and fitted!
AP....they use them in racing cars so must be good!
very pleased with mine...good in all gears!
you know you want one...Subaru Nottm (Beechdale) wanted £550 for a std clutch
AP worth the extra i think
