Each clutch kit variant includes a single clutch disc, with options for full-face or 6-paddle disc styles, depending on the selected friction material and performance requirements. Full-face discs offer smoother engagement and are ideal for daily driving conditions, while 6-paddle discs provide more aggressive engagement and are better suited for racing or high-performance applications.
