For most of us, driving has two purposes: getting around & FUN.
For daily driving, the trick is matching the clutch to your power level.
Too much clutch takes the fun out of driving in traffic.

Most aftermarket performance clutches have different levels for different needs.
Most of the time the first level is for a mild increase in power. It usually isnt much different from a stock clutch except the pressure plate has more clamping force. The benefit of it is it has engagement like a stock unit but holds better under hard launches and higher torque.
The intermediate to higher end clutches use different Disc materials Like carbon,ceramic,bronze and Kevlar. They are also more brutal to drive on the street because alot of them come without springs on the discs for smooth engagement. The springs act like little shock absorbers but also will break on high torque applications and are deleted on many race discs for more reliability.
Then you have twin and tripple plate clutches. These are some of the more pricey set ups and use more discs to distribute the force and hold it.
