Thats cause its much easier to replace a heavy duty clutch every 12-24 months and enjoy nice pedal feel. INstead of spending Big Bucks on some super brass clutch that will increase the chances of breaking Axles, diffs, tailshafts!
Every driveline has a weakness. And in my opinion, in a manual car, the clutch should be it! For a daily driver with some track work

Just go for an Exedy Heavy pressure plate with an Organic clutch plate...
Yep this is what i have, and im making 270rwkw.
I did have a Brass Button clutch but i wore it out. I much prefer the Exedy Heavy Duty clutch, so much more comfortable to drive. If it last long enough ill be getting this clutch again.

Has anyone got a photo of the "Exedy Heavy Duty clutch" ? As I've shagged the button clutch in the soarer. P.S. need a cheap W58 if anyone knows of one in Melbourne.

I've replaced my brass button with a Clutch Industries (aka PBR) Heavy Duty Clutch. Not one of the mainstream ones but its been a few months now and it seems to be running good still. Handling 250kW with no problems.
watch out for the clutch industries RPM series... I got one and it was way out of balance out of the box, diddn't find out til i put it in though. So much for their quoted "balanced twice" claim. It vibrated so much I moved sideways while idling... then CI f*%ked me round with the warranty. The stock toyota clutch is $730, I got a identical exedy stock replacement for $620 which is apparently ok for up to 230kw, but i find it doesn't have much of a bite and is a bit vague. Heavy duty exedy next time.
