I'm looking to swap my clutch over, Iv currently got a twin plate fitted and it's noisy and heavy.
Im looking for something which can handle 400hp but be comfortable to use at low speeds and around town. What do you recommend?
Can anyone recommend a driver friendly clutch?

I have this twin plate

The pedal is like stock but it is a little grabby, it's a bit of a pain in a long traffic jam but it's not bad when I use the 2 for a boring drive.

I have a CenterForce Dual Friction clutch in both my MR2 and Supra and gives a little more grip and grab over stock without any change in pedal feel.

I'm not sure if they are available in the UK, but easy enough to import.

Been running a Clutch Masters FX300 with Fidanza flywheel for just over 6 years and find it pretty tame.

Recently fitted a Competition Clutch "Stage 2", which claims to hold up to 80% more torque over standard (remember, power doesn't matter so much, it's torque that a clutch will get ripped up by). All good so far, a little heavier pedal than the stock type Exedy I had before (not excessive) but it's not an on/off switch, it's quite progressive like stock. It's barely even broken in on mine though. One of my friends has had the same clutch for a while now and rates it though. I would think their ceramic puck type single plate would be quite a bit more aggressive.
Bin the supplied throwout bearing with a Competition kit, Exedy kit, or any other unless the design requires you use their one. All the stock type aftermarket throwout bearings are 100% trash. Spend the £30-£40 on a brand new Toyota one.
If you have the money, go for a decent twin or triple plate kit. It'll be way more than what you need right now but you'll have plenty of headroom for more later on, and typically the twins and triples are actually easier to use than the single plate ceramic / puck type clutches.
