Our clutch kits are designed to seamlessly integrate with the BMW Z4's drivetrain, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. The use of high-quality friction materials, such as Organic, Ceramic, and Kevlar, in our clutch discs, provides a range of engagement characteristics and wear resistance, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your driving style and vehicle use. From the smooth engagement and durability of Organic to the high heat tolerance and aggressive engagement of Ceramic, and the unparalleled strength and longevity of Kevlar, each material offers distinct benefits.
The clutch stages available within this kit, Stage 1 and Stage 2, further allow customization of your vehicle's performance. Stage 1 is ideal for vehicles with mild performance upgrades or those used primarily for daily driving, providing a balance between performance and drivability. Stage 2, on the other hand, is tailored for vehicles with more significant performance modifications, offering higher torque capacity and a more aggressive engagement, suitable for spirited driving or occasional track use.
Understanding the importance of a complete solution, each variant of our clutch kit includes essential components for installation. This includes a throw-out bearing and an alignment tool, ensuring that you have everything needed for a seamless and efficient installation process. While our kits do not include a flywheel, they are compatible with the OEM flywheel, allowing for a straightforward integration into your vehicle.
The clutch disc quantity in each kit is single, focusing on simplicity and reliability. The disc styles vary to complement the friction material and intended use, with options like Full Face for smooth engagement and even wear, and 6-paddle for a more aggressive engagement suitable for high-performance applications. The hub style utilized is sprung, helping to reduce drivetrain shock and ensure smoother engagement, protecting other drivetrain components.
