OS Giken Honda Civic Type R (FK8) HTR Series Twin Plate Clutch

If you're pushing your Honda Civic Type R (FK8) hard, especially on the track or in autocross events, you know the stock clutch can start to fade under heavy use. This OS Giken HTR Series Twin Plate Clutch is built to handle significantly more power and torque, offering a more direct and consistent engagement when you need it most. It's designed for drivers who demand the best performance from their drivetrain under extreme conditions.

This clutch features a twin-plate design, which means it uses two friction discs instead of the typical one. This setup spreads the load across more surface area, allowing it to handle much higher torque capacities without overheating or slipping. OS Giken uses their own well-built clutch plates and a robust pressure plate assembly, all engineered to work together for reliable performance. The HTR series specifically is known for its ability to handle aggressive driving, providing a solid feel at the pedal and quick engagement. Because it's a twin-plate system, you'll notice a difference in how the clutch engages – it's more direct and less forgiving than a stock clutch, which is exactly what you want for precise control during spirited driving or track sessions.

Installing a twin-plate clutch like this is a more involved process than a standard single-plate unit, and it's often recommended to have a professional mechanic handle the job. You'll want to ensure all components are properly aligned and torqued according to OS Giken's specifications. While it's designed for high performance, it's important to note that twin-plate clutches can sometimes have a slightly heavier pedal feel and may require a bit more finesse for smooth daily driving compared to a stock clutch. However, for drivers who prioritize performance and durability under demanding conditions, this OS Giken clutch is a solid option that will stand up to abuse.
