I've just bought an exeddy organic clutch, because of the good price on a group buy, hoping it should be good up to 400lb-ft. Not in the car yet so can't comment. When looking for one I decided on organic, i can't be bothered with the hassle of cerramettalic unless i have to. The choices I had were.

AP Racing
Exeddy
Helix

I would have bought the helix if it wasn't for the group buy price, but that was just an experiment, i've heard failure stories about AP and Exeddy..... But then again they're clutches and occasionally they fail, particularly with abuse

I'd pretty much given up looking for a definitive answer They're all much and such the same price.

I just had my car fitted with an API Exedy organic on group buy, running 245 / 240 in PPP wagon with quickshift. Its smooth, judder free, and actually lighter in operation than my last one which is quite helpful in London traffic. I did put in the lightened flywheel as well - brilliant. It is noticably quicker through the rev range, and 4th gear has now taken on a new lease of life! Oddly enough it actually makes driving around town much easier as the car picks up from slow speeds slighty quicker off boost / at low revs - the all round driveability of the car has signifiantly improved which was an unexpected benefit.

Hope this is of help.

Have to agree with all you have said, got mine from API group buy(clutch/LW fly) no judder, lighter clutch pedal, and super fast changes(wrx ra)

Worth every penny
