Default What clutch?

I'm running 340bhp/320lb ft and my clutch has let go, it was already an exedy organic so what do I need to look at replacing it with? power will stay the same for the for-seeable, your input would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Is it a daily drive in traffic?

The exedy organic will cope with that level.

Have you driven with a cushion button or a twin plate before?

As mentioned the single plate organic should be ok but depends on driving style I think. But if you are doing 5 grand launches all the time maybe you need something tougher?

I had an exedy organic already but it slipped like mad when I buried it in 2nd mid roundabout, it started to show signs of letting go when it was mapped - it slipped a fair bit in 4th so I'm guessing I need a bit more than the exedy organic. I don't ever do high rev starts I rarely hit the turbo in 1st gear at all. the car is used every day - when its not waiting for repairs/mods. I really have no idea what paddle clutches and twin plate clutches are or what the differences are so any advice is welcome.

The Up Rated Exedy Pink box clutch kit is more than up to the power/torque you have, but I would suggest the kit with the anti judder clutch plate. Price includes delivery.
