can vouch for exedy copper mix with bronze lining.
400hp and happy, street use, plenty of skids.
allan cooked his racing and now runs an exedy button at 450hp and seems to be holding up.

I have a solid centre button clutch and if you intend to get one for a daily be prepared for the clattery noise off throttle in certain rev ranges They can be driven smoothly with practice but wear fast if slipped too much.
For a hi power daily i think a sprung cush button would be a goer.
I've had mine since 03 07 92
85 JB 2323cc DOHC 4G63
THE OLDER I GET THE FASTER I WAS
GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL

Other thing you have to think about is if you get a clutch that's too strong you risk the gearbox if you monster it...
