Default Clutching at straws...

Hi all...
I am sure this has been debated many times before but, I will need to change my clutch soon.
I am eventually looking to get into the 300BHP/lb/ft area.
What do you think is the best clutch option to cope with this - I do need to consider cost at this stage.

Its going in a 2001 WRX 5 speed.

Also how long to change it?

thanks for any replies.

AP racing clutch will cope easily & not much more than the Exedy. The ultimate is a twin plate which is about £1000 but not needed at your level unless you plan regular trips down the drag strip.

Thanks for your thoughts Gents.
I will check out the prices; I have had really good back up from AP with previous projects.

Cheers..
