Anyone suggest a suitable clutch unit?...My95 jap import rated at 260bhp. I`m looking for something suitable for normal driving conditions but not a unit so soft it will slip or burn out in 5 mins. Any info on prices/sources much appreciated

AP organic or Helix organic are both very good but expensive. The Borg and Beck I understand is good value but would not last as long as the other two.

Uprated AP organic or STi are the ones to go for IMHO.
I`d recomend you don`t go as far as the paddle jobs though.
Had a 3 pad paddle clutch in mine for 10 months during which I destroyed 2 gearboxes through shock loading during standing starts etc (suppose it may have been ok under std driving).
Had an STi on the scoob for over a year now n it`s still ok even with decent uprated power.

Wayne,

No probs in fitting an STi unit to a WRX m8
The main thing thats different is the price and the lifespan of it.
