Hey Steve, do you think that they are manageable in an everyday car, will the clutch and flywheel stick being slipped a bit when parking or manouvering etc etc?

I had the act clutch at 1st that was capable of 550lbs and that is great, then I went with the 6 paddle plate with the heavy duty pressure plate. It drives fine but after a while you realise you have to add and hold a bit more revs when in standing traffic.

Funky Power are one dealer that i know of.
Steve the 550 one was still using a disk wasnt it? i want to get that one but am worried incase i get very close or over that torque with my new build,.. the 6 paddle will more than be enough, pity there isnt another disk option between the 2 figures.
Have been in some paddle clutch cars in past and they were horrible, either on or off

Yea that is the street disk one, good for 515.. next step is the HB4-XTSS which is rated for 560 ftlbs. Both use same disk, just different pressure plates.
I would be happy with the XTSS, As its aimed at keeping things street useable aswell, but im afraid he wont be enough or be right on its limits, as at moment my plan is 2.35 and gt30. The 6 paddle will more than cope but im worried how much of a pain in the *** will the 6 paddle be to use, and with being slipped in daily use will i be burning out the paddles or even the flywheel

i only use the car now and again so hard to really give you an idea as i drive a focus everyday and jumping out of that into my scoob on the weekends well 
i say the first hour or so is a mission for me as it's alot harder than the focus and it's very on / off really as it's not one for holding on the bit anywhere like a hill 
once i get use to it tho its fine in my opinion but you know by the feel and drive (when changing gear etc..) that its an uprated clutch and its not going to slip 
hope this helps
