we had an exedy in the I which was very good that replaced a cusco carbon paddle clutch which was a nightmare to drive with.but in the III we have a cusco which is much lighter but still good for the power.

i think its a techni clutch!! the garage wasnt happy, cost them £400 , when i bought the car the clutch was slipping they said they would fit a new one to the same spec that was in and when they seen it wasnt standard they were pissed :muhaha: but at least i know that its going to last a while, the had to fit a new gear box , new diff and gave it a full service, cost the garage over £1200 to get it ready for me :-)

If you want them to last then stick with a normal clutch and just get the one that matches your output well,paddles can be ok but wear faster,are usually harsher on the road and don't tend to last the distance and as its 'competition stuff' theres no guarentee!
i aslo prefer a clutch on its limit than a clutch that can handle huge amounts of power, clutches are cheaper than boxes!

I had the co-ord double plate kit that was good and lasted a while however it was a bit of a nightmare in traffic, as it was on or off also if the revs where below 2000 rpm on takeoff it would stall
