    Default Clutch For 3sgte With W58

    Hey all

    Basically looking at getting the clutch im going to need for my car. For those who dont know it, its and AE86 with a 3sgte mated to a Steel Plated W58. Aiming for aroung the 450HP (@ wheels) mark, what type of clutch would we be recommending? Any past experiences with brands etc. ?? 3,4,5 puck? Upgrading pressure plate?

    Any info would be great, cheers. Also, im guessing just an uprated GT4 clutch/pressure plate will be fine as the W58 runs the same input spline as the standard GT4 box, so aftermarket higher rated GT4 Clutch even?

    Cheers

    Twinplate is nice if you can afford it, otherwise a ceramic button clutch will hold the power at a much lower cost.
