Default Uprated clutch advice please

Im after some clutch options please.
I know the correct one to get would be the exedy twin plate but there £1500 so looking for cheaper options without comprimising longativity too much.
The tourqe rateing needs to be around 450lbs as an absolute minimum,and 500+ would be nicer,as will be getting some quarter mile launches.
Car is MY98 type R sti but has a WR1 6 speed box.
Cheers peeps.

Exedy Racing Pink kit should be good for torque, though not sure what repeated launches would do to it.

ps Its me Ricky, I bought those JDM wheels off you a couple of years ago.

You need a twin plate if you want the clutch to stand that abuse for any lenght of time. I now use Carbonectics, twin and single plate including the blade which is rated around 500 BHP on 240mm and costs around £600.
