HKS LA CLUTCH AP1/AP2 F20C/F22C

HKS is well-known for making high-performance parts for Japanese sports cars, and their LA Clutch is a prime example of that expertise. This single-plate clutch kit is built for the Honda S2000 AP1 and AP2 models, specifically those with the F20C or F22C engines. If you're looking to replace a worn-out clutch or want a more robust setup for spirited driving or track use, this kit offers a solid upgrade.

The LA Clutch features a unique sprung center hub design that helps absorb shock and vibration, making it more comfortable for daily driving than some other performance clutches. The clutch disc itself uses a multi-plate design with a special friction material that HKS developed to handle higher torque loads and provide consistent engagement. This means you get a strong, reliable clutch that can handle the demands of a performance engine without sacrificing too much drivability. The kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a release bearing, so you have the essential components for a clutch replacement.

When installing this clutch, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, especially regarding the proper break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of gentle driving to allow the new friction surfaces to mate properly. A properly installed and broken-in clutch will offer smooth engagement and long service life. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch, simplifying the installation process for mechanics familiar with S2000 clutch jobs.
