Default Carbotic or copper ceramic????

Well, my clutch has finally went kapoot. And I have found 2 that I am interested in but I don't know which pressure plate to get. What is the difference in the carbonic and copper ceramic material? How will each hold up over time and over boost? Both are 6 puck disc's and the carbonic is stage 3 while the copper ceramic is stage 2. Both clutches are good for 278ft/ls torque and 320 HP. Not really wanting advise on get such and such brand, just want to know about the materials that are best. Thanks in advance.

The copper ceramic will last longer but the organic carbon faced disk will be more streetable and "normal" feeling. If you want the king of all clutches - both pedal feel and clamping force - look into the Tilton twin disk kevlar beast. Money well spent

Cool thanks for the response. They both say "street and Strip" but hell people will say anything to get you to buy their product. I do use it as my daily driver and plan to track her every now and then but don't want to deal with the stop and go of traffic with a hard *** clutch. Yeah I've heard about those kevlar plates but don't think I can afford one at this moment. Maybe in the future.
