Default difference in drive-ability between hyper twin plate and hyper single plate

as above please,i have been offered both types at good prices but as they are a paddle clutch im worried about the use of it in my every day car,the car is a blob and will (next year) be running around 450bhp so i will be needing a decent clutch

are they as bad as some people say regarding its all or nothing? i have to creep up on my drive to literally an inch away from the house or the back end sticks out on the path and its uphill so i have to use a fair bit of clutch control without ending up in the front room

I haven't driven a hyper single, but I do have a twin plate. BTW the twin I have isn't a paddle design.
TBH it is a little more harsh in take-up than OEM clutches, and you have to get used to the reduction in initial drive-off torque due to the low mass of the clutch and flywheel.
However it's nothing like bad enough to make me regret having a twin plate.
If you have any thoughts whatsoever about future upgrades I would stick with the twin, always assuming it's a decent price in the frst place of course.

cheers for the input mate,ive never driven a car with one so i really dont know what to expect-i have visions of bringing the clutch up a few mm and the car is kangaroo'in up the drive

where can i get spares from as one of them needs a release bearing?

ASP FTW

Edited to add, it's not likely to kangaroo up the drive, more likely to stall because of the light flywheel.
It does still catch me out from time to time but usually it's more a case of 'oh well we're off now then', rather than stalling it.

If you have a six speed go for the twin. I have a twin in the S202 and it's a **** for day to day but performance wise it's just superb

You don't need a paddle for 450 bhp - lots of solutions out there without going paddle - which is a bitch in normal day to day use. Alyn is your man
