Default Clutch recommendation for 93/94 WRX RA jap import

A work mate has just bought a 93/94 WRX RA jap import. The clutch is almost done in and he wants to fit an uprated clutch. Someone has suggested an organic paddle clutch, are there any better options? Does anyone know what size the clutches are on these?

Cheers

Anders

Early cars have a 225mm clutch, and the later cars are 230mm.

Assuming the flywheel is in good condition, you can have it skimmed, and fit the bigger 230mm clutch.

For cars up to 400bhp, a good up rated organic clutch, such as the Exedy works well, and retains drivability.


Mark.

Cheers, I was looking at the Exedy page on the WRC Tech site earlier. What damage is he looking at for an organic one?

Cheers Dave, I'll give you a call on Monday. Also interested in a price for one on my car. I've done 30K and can't see it lasting too much longer. Does it cost £200 + VAT fitting for new shape?

Cheers

Anders
