Features and Benefits
This clutch kit is specifically designed for the European vehicle segment, with a focus on models such as the Audi TT Quattro and various Volkswagen vehicles. Featuring an array of friction materials across its variants—from Ceramic to Organic, and even Kevlar—this kit caters to a wide spectrum of driving needs and preferences. Here’s a closer look at what makes our clutch kits stand out:
High-Quality Friction Materials: The choice between Ceramic, Organic, and Kevlar friction materials allows drivers to select the ideal balance between durability, performance, and drivability. Ceramic offers exceptional heat resistance and longevity, making it ideal for high-performance and racing applications. Organic material, on the other hand, provides smoother engagement and is well-suited for daily driving. Kevlar, known for its high strength and thermal stability, offers a compromise between the two, delivering durability along with smoother engagement.
Stages of Performance: Our clutch kits are available in various stages—Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3—each designed to meet different levels of performance enhancement. Stage 1 is perfect for vehicles with minor modifications, providing slightly higher than stock power handling without sacrificing drivability. Stage 2 is aimed at vehicles with moderate performance upgrades, offering increased torque capacity and durability. Stage 3 is designed for heavily modified cars, providing maximum torque capacity and heat dissipation for high-power applications.
Comprehensive Kit Inclusions: Each clutch kit comes complete with all necessary components for a successful installation. This includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and alignment tool. Select kits also include a flywheel, ensuring that you have a perfectly matched set for your vehicle's transmission system. The inclusion of these components not only streamlines the installation process but also ensures optimal performance and longevity of the clutch system.
Designed for Durability and Performance: Engineered to withstand the rigors of aggressive driving and high-performance applications, our clutch kits feature robust construction and innovative designs. The use of solid hubs in some variants, for example, enhances strength and reliability. Additionally, our pressure plate designs are optimized for consistent engagement and disengagement, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life.
