RE: Uprated clutch for 300BHP

Post by costelg »

Hi all, am looking into getting a new clutch. I am looking for something very reliable, but more importantly with a lighter pedal that the one that I currently have which is VERY HEAVY.

A clutch to take 300 ish BHP, be as light as standard or slightly lighter and very reliable???

Exedy stage 1 or Helix would be a couple of options.

Yeah, it has to be said the stock clutch is ok at around that power. I'm running 314hp on original stock clutch and it's still going strong at 84k miles, never had any slipping. I guess it depends on how you drive the car. A stage one clutch might be better at that power if it's going to have a hard life though.
