Default Newage clutch options 450-500bhp
My second clutch must be getting on and plans for the next year will be around 450-500bhp. What clutch options are there for this power level, was thinking Exedy twin plate but are there more driver friendly options?

Helix organic twin plate is excellent and is less expensive than you might think.

No need to go twin plate at that level: AP will do the job and feel like the OEM clutch

Edging towards Exedy twin, not heard many bad things about them and it leaves future power upgrades open . How snatchy are they? I had a go in a mates Evo with twin plate HKS and that was fairly on off, but he said you get used to it.

A mate had a Helix clutch on his Pulsar and wasn't that impressed, it wasn't a twin plate though so may have been the wrong choice.

Cheers for the replies, Exedy twin it is. Now I got to find a turbo/power set up that warrants the twin plate

Why go for a twin plate, when a single plate from AP will do the job; no adaption period required. Get in and drive like normal!

Have seen more than a few occasions of an AP clutch having ripped it's centre out:

Quick update to this thread, the Exedy twin plate is fitted now. Really surprised how easy this clutch is to get on with, drives almost like standard

Does rattle a bit, but I expected that after hearing my mates EVO twin plate.

I've only done about 400 miles on the clutch, so early days. Will give it to 1000 miles and then have a launch or two
