Best clutch for daily 450/480 driver??
Any ideas on an "OEM feeling" clutch for 450 bhp / 480lb/ft?
I have an AP Racing Ceremetallic single plate paddle clutch which is rubbish for a daily driver.
Much judder and quick engagement. Catches the Mrs. Out when parking!
Looking for something which feels like the factory clutch with no judder or thrash or rattles.

Lol. Why is there an advert at the top of this thread warning me about overspending on a new handbag? 
Shouldn’t it be advertising anything with breasts or perhaps something to help me with my car???

All helpful stuff above guys - but Ian doesn't get on with the judder bit. That is what we are trying to eliminate. No point in posting that something is briiliant if it judders in this instance.

I use an ACT 6 paddle, no problems whatsoever and very nice to use on a daily driver.
I was wary at first as I had read horror stories about 6 paddle clutches but luckily for me, nada.
I didnt even have the flywheel skimmed, which I would probably do next time round.

Anyone used one of these?

They are supposed to be difficult to tell from an OEM clutch.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but do any of you Exedy twin plate users get a vibration through the car at about 1700 rpm in the higher gears ? I have this problem at the moment and have been told it is caused by the clutch.

Just called AP Racing and they reckon they have nothing that can handle 480 lb/ft in the organic range. Do you remember the part number? What was it? Single, twin etc? How much did you pay for it?
There was one that is now discontinued called the CP6082 – but apparently that wouldn’t have been up to the job anyway.
Cheers.

I got my clutch kit complete from Bob'5 on here, aztec performance.
Try a PM to him.
No harsh engagement or chatter, its bloody excellent for me and was working like a charm at 450bhp.
