The Ceramic option, in particular, is designed for those who require a clutch that can handle more extreme conditions without sacrificing the ability to use the car for daily activities.
- The Stage 2 variants advance this concept further, offering options in Organic and Kevlar materials. The Organic material ensures smoother engagement and is suited for those who balance daily driving with occasional spirited driving sessions. On the other hand, the Kevlar option is geared towards more aggressive driving and higher torque applications, providing exceptional resistance to wear and heat.
