speak to techcraft in the contact section, they are very helpful:)

215 x 6 paddle and helix cover plate is an option,depends what type of driving you intend to do, paddle wont last more than 8000 miles at most, even less if being used for general day to day driving around town (on /of the clutch all the time) plus the bite quite hard/on or off :laugh: (if you go for this option stick with the six not the four paddle, feathers better less bite;))

a kevlar type organic clutch might be a better option more for road/street use, and should last for 30,000+ miles as long as you dont destroy it with super amounts of torque, in 215mm diameter prob wont grip as well as the paddle though:)

or if your feeling flush a twin plate in 185,200,215mm diameter , they will take huge amounts of torque, but at a price:eek: and if your aiming for big bhp (300+) and you intend to trackday it alot, then i would consider saving the cash and doing a gearbox conversion vw 02m, speak to the the one and only legend that is scoff for more details if your interested, really depends on what bhp/ftlb your looking to push to at the end of the day:cooter:
