Default Which Classic Clutch?

My clutch has started to slip on hard acceleration in 3rd and 4th, only occasionally and I know I will eventually need to replace it.

What the best clutch for me would be?

My car is a 1996 UK Turbo 2000 with pretty much standard WRX power thanks to a Z4 ECU and Prodrive rear box. However I do want to push it to around the 320 mark in the next year or so.

The car is my daily driver and I will therefore need a usable clutch as I dont want to bunnyhop to and from work!

Ive recently put an Exedy direct replacement in MY99 UK Classic. Seems great, no complaints. Not sure what max power they are rated at though would think 320 wouldnt be a problem. Don't leave it slipping too long or you'll be changing the flywheel too.

You'll be needing an Exedy Racing Uprated Organic Clutch Kit, thankfully now available with anti-judder friction plate which makes it as nice as standard to drive:

Brilliant, thanks.

Will I need a flywheel? I've had conflicting reports on this!

No, it'll likely need a skim, but nothing more.

Lightweight forged flywheels are an nice upgrade though
