Stage 1 and Stage 2 Clutch Kits
Our Stage 1 clutch kits are designed for vehicles that require a slight upgrade over the OEM clutch. This option is perfect for daily driving and mild modifications, providing a balance between performance and drivability. On the other hand, our Stage 2 clutch kits cater to those who demand more from their vehicle.
