IIRC, fast road will be very snappy. Either on or off.

OE clutch (Valeo) is fine. Fred always quotes what kind of BHP they can take and I can't remember the figure now. So unless you're having some major boost work done my personal preference would be stick with an OE clutch like Valeo or Luk (Luk apparently make some of the Valeo clutches, so I've been told?).

Yes mate, it's about 180bhp for an 'OE' clutch. I've got a Luk clutch.

Fast road clutch's are not that grabby. The ones that are are the paddle cluches. 3 puck ones are the worst for being on/off. If its a non paddle clutch, it'll be fine. Just beware of Techni clutch (bad spellin!) I had an organic fast road one from them and my impreza shredded it after 6 months!
