Clutch Masters 02-05 Subaru WRX 2.0L 5spd 242mm Upgrade FX350 Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel

Clutch Masters is well-known for making robust drivetrain components, and this FX350 clutch kit is a prime example of their work for your 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza WRX. If you're looking to upgrade your clutch beyond the stock setup, especially if you've added more power or plan to, this kit is designed to handle more torque and provide a more direct feel. It’s a popular choice for enthusiasts who want a clutch that can keep up with their driving style.

This kit features the FX350 clutch disc, which is built with a unique sprung hub design. This helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it a bit more comfortable for daily driving than some other high-performance options. The disc itself is rated for a significant increase in torque capacity over the factory clutch, making it suitable for modified vehicles. The kit also includes a solid steel flywheel, which is a direct replacement for your original. A steel flywheel is generally heavier than an aluminum one, which can help with smoother engagement off the line and better heat dissipation, crucial for preventing clutch fade during spirited driving or track use.

When installing this clutch kit, remember that it's a good idea to replace your rear main seal and pilot bearing at the same time, as these are easily accessible with the transmission out. This kit is designed as a complete package, so you get the clutch disc, pressure plate, and the steel flywheel all in one box, simplifying the installation process. It’s a solid option for anyone looking to significantly improve their Subaru's clutch performance and durability.
