I have a 6 puck spring clutch, but havn\'t fitted it yet, I think it depends on the pressure plate that is chosen.

Unless it\'s a full on drag or track car I really wouldn\'t advise a paddle clutch - get a good organic like ACT or RPS organic ones. Paddle clutches grip well and hard, but don\'t like being slipped - they won\'t last long being driven \'normally\' :(

She is by no means an all out track or drag car but will get tracked so i want something which will last and take the strain!
But by the looks of things ACT are pretty popular!

Ogura seem to be the tuners favourite but beware as they cost a bomb
