okay thats good to know; I was more thinking in terms of drivability on the road. I've heard they can be a pain to drive in traffic. Only ever had experience with driving a levin with a ceramic clutch which felt like a leg press machine

Get a standard Excedy. Mine has been in for about two years and gets lots of abuse.

No, but I work at BNT so I can get you a price. What model have you got? i.e sj50/sj70?

I put in a heavy duty exeedy clutch when i put the Vitara motor in my Samurai. It feels no different to the old standard one, but im sure it will put up with a bit more punishment ( that's if I get angry with the gogo pedal as im a bit of a nanna )
