on topic: maybe you should go check out the Exedy organic clutches. They sound pretty good for what you need.

I dont think that's true. I daily drive my Exedy twin plate and it's really easy to drive. Even in thick traffic (which I'm in alot), it's not that bad at all. It's only a little stiffer than stock. I got the clutch along with the WORKS ss clutch line and it feels great.

I give up...

A twin disc is totally different that a single disc puck clutch. They do not drive the same. The twin disc is much easier to drive than a single puck disc.

an Exedy organic clutch would also be just fine for what you need - equivalent to OEM.

Smike, I'm perfectly happy with my Ralliart 3-puck cerametallic clutch on my daily driver!
Pedal feel is actually lighter than stock. Can be a bit of a PITA in heavy stop & go traffic, but since I don't see too much of that, it's not a problem for me - and no complaints from the wife or kids... so far.

I will admit, though - this type of clutch isn't for everybody...

No rattles or chatter in neutral, and just have to remember to raise the revs slightly higher than the OEM clutch when taking off in 1st, and especially in reverse - if you don't, when backing up at low rpms up it'll make rattling noises, and people will razz ya about looking for parts that have fallen off !!
