AP/Exedy/Helix/Toda
These are the choices after a too long trawl through the interweb searching for clutches.
I reckon a ceramettallic(?!) paddle clutch will be the way to go aiming for 400lb/ft, I'd prefer organic but I doubt it would last?
All seem to be very similarly priced.
AP seems to be tried and tested, but has a lower torque rating than the rest
I've heard a few early failure storys about exedy, but these could well be unsubstantiated.
Helix is the most expensive
Toda.... I don't know anyone who's ever heard of this make.
Any experences/opinions on the matter? In the absense of opinion I'll probably go with exedy or helix.
Cheers,
Dave

If you have a 6 speed box, then I would go with the AP or STI uprated organic clutch. 5 Speed is trickier, ap organic should be just up to the job, but it won't like lots of drag racing.

David@APi warrantees them to a certain output - 400 if memory serves me correct....worth asking him.
