Hello mate, i've not used one but i intend to replace my clutch (when needed) with one. A freind, who is a mechanic uses them, and swears by them.
He runs one on a golf rallye thats pushing 550bhp, a TT pushing the 300 mark, so i'd assume they're up to the job.
Hope this helps.

Ive had one fitted for a couple of months now and its fine but be aware! they WILL NOT stand being launched,for normal use and trackday use you wont go wrong with it as long as your not planning to do any launching.Hope this helps mate

Pretty much as Mark has said above, really nice bit of kit but not for lauches, will cope with decent torque figures too should you be tuning in the future

Any make so long as the type is either a paddle or better still a multi plate like a twin plate

I've never had a paddle clutch but heard they can be a bit of a pain for daily use! Anyone know if this is true?

Paddles and twins are a pain in the ass on an everyday driver I should know I had a twin plate for 9 months, but you do kinda get used to them

Just don't try launching on an organic though....you WILL kill it in no time at all :shock:
