Our clutch kits are available in various configurations to suit your specific needs. With options ranging from Organic, Ceramic, to Kevlar friction materials, and stages 1 and 2 for different levels of performance enhancement, we have carefully curated our offerings to cater to a wide range of driving styles and requirements. Each variant is meticulously designed to provide optimal friction, engagement, and durability.
The Organic option is perfect for drivers looking for a clutch that offers smooth engagement and reliability for daily driving conditions. It is designed to deliver enhanced performance over stock clutches while maintaining a comfortable driving experience.
For those seeking a bit more aggression without sacrificing the integrity of daily drivability, the Ceramic option in Stage 1 Extreme provides a higher friction coefficient. This variant is ideal for drivers who demand more from their vehicles, whether it's for spirited street driving or occasional track use. The increased bite and heat tolerance of the ceramic material ensure consistent performance even under harsher conditions.
Taking performance a notch higher, our Stage 2 offerings come in both Organic and Kevlar materials. The Organic Stage 2 variant, tagged as Daily Plus, offers improved torque capacity and durability for those who engage in more demanding driving but still prioritize the smoothness of organic material. On the other hand, the Kevlar option in Stage 2 Sport is tailored for enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limits. Kevlar's unique properties provide exceptional strength and heat resistance, making it suitable for high-performance applications where durability and performance are paramount.
Each kit comes with a single disc style, ensuring straightforward installation and compatibility. The discs are designed with a full face for a more engaging driving experience and improved heat dissipation. Furthermore, our kits include a diaphragm-style pressure plate, which offers a balance between a comfortable pedal feel and sufficient clamping force. This ensures that regardless of the material or stage you choose, you will experience a noticeable improvement in performance without a compromise on drivability.
Understanding the importance of a complete solution, South Bend Clutch kits come equipped with all necessary components for a hassle-free installation. This includes a throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and a steel pilot bushing. However, it's important to note that the kits do not include a flywheel, allowing you to choose the right flywheel that matches your specific needs and preferences.
