I use a paddle plate which is not what you're after, however I have found Alcon plates to be much better quality than AP if thats any help.

If you can find it, a Luk or Valeo turbo clutch is the one to have. There are two others, but thats for when you start getting into the relms of silly bananas, and been tested by a well known engine builder up to 140bhp

First decide what sort of clutch you want, namely verto or diaphram, look at the FAQ on clutchs/flywheels which will give you an idea of the characteristics of each...
