This variant is suited for vehicles that are used for more spirited driving and occasional track days.
Stepping up to the Organic / Stage 2 / Daily Plus, drivers will find a clutch that's designed for higher performance applications while still maintaining good driving characteristics for daily use. This option offers increased torque capacity over Stage 1, making it suitable for vehicles with moderate performance modifications.
Lastly, the Kevlar / Stage 2 / Sport variant is designed for those who demand the utmost in performance. Kevlar friction material provides exceptional durability and heat resistance, making this clutch ideal for highly modified vehicles that see regular track use or aggressive driving conditions.
