Friction Materials: The availability of Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar friction materials allows for tailored performance characteristics. Organic materials offer smooth engagement and are well-suited for daily driving conditions. Ceramic materials, on the other hand, provide higher heat resistance and are ideal for high-performance applications. Kevlar offers a balance between durability and drivability, making it an excellent choice for sporty, yet street-friendly setups.
Stage 1 and Stage 2 Variants: Depending on your vehicle's power output and intended use, you can choose between Stage 1 and Stage 2 variants. Stage 1 is designed for vehicles with mild modifications, providing a noticeable improvement in performance without sacrificing drivability. Stage 2 kits are engineered for vehicles with more significant modifications, offering enhanced torque capacity and durability for more demanding applications.
Comprehensive Kit Contents: Each clutch kit includes not only the clutch disc and pressure plate but also a throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bushing. This ensures that you have all the necessary components for a complete and hassle-free installation. The pilot bushing material is steel, ensuring durability and long service life.
No Flywheel Included: It's important to note that the clutch kits do not include a flywheel. This allows customers the flexibility to choose a flywheel that best suits their specific needs or to continue using their existing flywheel if it is in good condition.
