As titled what's your opinions?

I'll be getting a clutch made and just wanted to know what to go for, it'll be a rigid centre

What's the reason your going for a paddle clutch?

The lower the number of paddles the harsher the bite is, a 6 paddle in a sierra cosworth is just about bearable in a road car
That was a with a sprung plate though.

Stronger and not as much chance of slipping, so what's the advantages of the 4 paddle ? Lighter weight or something

What engine and power are you running?

1.4 k series with around 300bhp and around 250 torque,

It used to run a standard borg and becks rover 220 turbo clutch what broke after a few runs up santapod so needs to be a bit beefier

I have an AP race clutch with a sprung centre, makes it less hideous around the paddock.
