my clutch went today on my 03 sti its the clutch that was on the car when i bought it and the car has 355 bhp do i need to uprate from the standard or will a straight replacement be ok.was told by a mate that cos of the increase in power the standard might not be good enough

Go for an uprated one. Covers you then!

I've got an 03 STi too, running 430/375 and I've put a twin plate in. Not cheap at all, but it's covered me for when I get more power.

been looking thru ebay theres a lot to look thru .would a race or fast road clutch be better ..i admit i drive it quick and hard.and whats the difference with the normal clutches and the 4 or 5 or 6 paddle cluthces im not exactly a mechanical genius

Don't get one from ebay, get one from a reputable dealer. There are a lot of fakes out there which don't last long.

Mine is this one http://lateralperformance.co.uk/prod...za_6_speed_box

But yoy may not want to spend that much which is understandable. APi sell some very good organic Exedy clutches, with a modified plate...which are suppose to work very well. But again, if your going to up your power in the future you will need to get a twin plate to cope with the power.

If you go with a race, it clamps harder but it does not last as long, so i would go with a fast road! Depends on use and driving style, really! My recommendation is fast road.

Oe Exedy 240mm will cope with no issues at that level.
