Just got my car mapped to 330 great fun for 20 mins but unfortunately the clutch has started slipping. Ive gpt an sti engine with 5 speed box. Ive been told the standard wrx clutch should be good for 400bhp. Looking through ebay and im seeing a normal exceedy wrx 225mm clutch for £170 or an organic exceedy one for £220. What would people recommend? Is there any others out there in this price range that are better? Cheers

std clutch for that car is 230mm and will struggle beyond 350 generally, less if used aggressively............225mm is only for the v.early classics and is not the correct fitment at all and has a lower torque ability

most likely the "organic" clutches you are finding on Egay are cleverly worded std fitments what you are actually looking for is a "pink box" Exedy which is an uprated unit

probably best priced you will find here https://www.scoobynet.com/trader-ann...utch-kits.html and we also stock very competitively priced "pink box" as well as AP, Helix, ACT, etc..........

I have 305 bhp / 310 ftlbs on a 97 UK car with hybrid turbo.

Clutch was slipping when I got it 69K miles. I put a Borg & Beck standard size one in and now have 173K miles on clock and I've tracked it.

I know Excedy well rated but there's my experience for you.

Exedy blue box clutch should be fine with that power level but given you track it I'd go with Alyn and say Exedy pink for coping with a bit more abuse.
Who are Borg & Beck? Never heard of the brand, are they big on other marques?

Borg & Beck just a aftermarket brand not pushed as performance, sound German but may be made in India fir all I know.

Just know its worked really well for me and I did have recommendation from here before

Standard clutch is not good for 400bhp. 230mm (the larger of the 2 that fit that car) are good for around 300bhp: http://aztecperformance.com/clutches...ed-300bhp.html

Over and beyond that you need to look at uprated options:

Exedy Pink: http://aztecperformance.com/clutches...ti-judder.html
Competition Clutch: http://aztecperformance.com/clutches...4-5-speed.html

"Organic" does not mean uprated. Avoid eBay at all costs, there are more fakes being sold on there than genuine items unfortunately.

Feel free to message or call me if you need further advise

Ok. Thanks for the advise guys. It looks like I've got 2 options to choose from.
1. Blue box clutch for around £180. Cross my fingers that it won't burn out as I don't track the car.
2. Pink box clutch and lightened flywheel for around 480. Will last longer and take more abuse and have better throttle response.

Although money is tight at the moment and the scoob has already had a couple of grand spent on her over the last couple of months i think I will have to go pink. Hopefully there are some January sales. Ha
Cheers guys.
