This clutch kit comes in two variants to cater to varying driving needs and preferences: Organic/Stage 1/Daily and Kevlar/Stage 2/Sport. The Organic Stage 1 option is ideal for daily drivers looking for enhanced performance beyond standard OEM specifications without sacrificing drivability.

It is worth noting that both variants are equipped with a single clutch disc, ensuring straightforward installation and maintenance.
Key features and benefits of the SBC Clutch Kit include:
