Each variant in our clutch kit lineup is engineered with specific driving scenarios in mind:

Stage 1 Kits featuring ceramic friction material are tailored for vehicles with minor modifications. They offer a significant upgrade over stock performance, providing more aggressive engagement and higher torque handling without sacrificing driveability.
Stage 2 Kits come in two variants: one with organic friction material for daily driving with moderate enhancements, and the other combining organic and ceramic materials for those seeking enhanced performance with reliable endurance for more spirited driving.
Stage 3 Kits escalate the performance further, with options ranging from pure organic material for daily high-performance driving to ceramic for extreme conditions, and even Kevlar for those who demand a balance between durability and performance.
Stage 4 Kits are the pinnacle of our offering, aimed squarely at the motorsport enthusiast. Utilizing ceramic friction material, these kits are designed for extreme conditions and offer the highest torque capacity, ensuring that your vehicle's power is delivered to the road or track with unerring precision.

All our clutch kits include a flywheel, an essential component for ensuring that your clutch operates efficiently and effectively. This inclusion ensures a smoother installation process and optimal performance, as the flywheel and clutch are engineered to work in perfect harmony.
