[QUOTE="silvercoffin, post: 5579732, member: 3749"] [b].[/b] Back to our original question, how to choose? The answer depends on the answers to the two basic questions asked earlier regarding intended use of the car and power output. Based on the answers, this gauge will help the decision: To repeat the important point, do not buy more clutch than you need. A simple organic disk will handle a wide variety of use - including street use, auto-x, and even true racing. In fact, SCCA ITS racing rules require a standard OE-spec organic disk. UUC has tested organic disks to reliably handle up to 475hp in long-term street use. M3s regularly run through several auto-x seasons without problems. A kevlar disk is a good choice for a heavily-tracked or road-raced cars, especially with forced induction. Carbon/ceramic should be left to high-power cars that see lots of drag racing, or are dedicated track/drag cars. Sintered iron clutch disks are strictly for endurance racing. [/QUOTE]
