Hi guys, as above really my plans for my evo should hopefully see it around the 400 mark give or take.
My clutch is fine atm but it's only standard running 260 at 58k miles
So question really is what is the best clutch and flywheel to get with that as my target power?
Been offered a 4 paddle exedy but can't find any info on a 4 paddle only 3 or 6
Or is a paddle clutch too un useable as an everyday driver?
I want something that will handle the power and last a decent amount of miles
Cheers

Standard exedy is got for 450bhp, Ross sport had them at a mega price.
Might be worth fitting a paddle if you're going big bhp in the future.

I was looking at a four puck paddle but think this would probably be too harsh for a road car? 6 puck paddles seem to have a good review saying they are not too unlike standard clutch to drive. To be honest I think my car will only get to 370-400 ish anyway with the mods I want, I I was to go more I would just have to bite the bullet and buy another clutch aswell. But if a standard exedy is good for 450 that's more than enough for what in planning

imo i wouldnt use any single paddle in evo as they feel nasty to drive with.

if you only want that kind of bhp then std clutch also consider a helix organic.

we always use exedy twin even for road cars but all comes down to costs

Yes exedy town woul be nice but cost is very high for the power I'm hoping to get, If I end up going more power I'll have to buy another clutch lol

Exedy twin plate, not cheap but worth it knowing the time it will last at that power.
Its not too bad to live with either once you are used to it, not like some clutches I've had on other cars.
