Default CLUTCH HELP!!!!

Hi guys, need some help on this particular problem. I have a 2007 STi, 6 spd box, full de-cat and remapped by Bob Rawl. Its had a fantastic result, 375BHP and 435ft lb torque. OBVIOUSLY my clutch is now sliping .
So question is this, what clutch to go for and should i do any work to flywheel or other components whilst the box is out! Not on a budget as such but like to get good quality for my money, any help would be great

Twin plate is great clutch if your car will be more track day/drag car,but if you are planning use the car daily in traffic/congestion i would suggest ACT(i think Bren@Apex Performance selling them,just have look at Traders Announcements or Harvey)
