OS Giken Lotus ELISE / EXIGE 2ZZGE STR Series Dampened Single Plate w/Soft Diaphragm Clutch

This is the OS Giken STR Series dampened single plate clutch kit, specifically made for your 2005-2011 Lotus Elise and 2006-2010 Lotus Exige equipped with the 2ZZGE engine. If you're looking to replace a worn-out clutch or want a more robust setup for spirited driving, this kit offers a well-built solution designed to handle increased demands while maintaining a comfortable pedal feel.

The STR Series clutch features a single plate design, which helps keep rotational mass lower compared to multi-plate setups, contributing to quicker engine response. What sets this clutch apart is its dampened design, incorporating a soft diaphragm spring. This combination is crucial for absorbing drivetrain shock and vibration, leading to smoother engagement off the line and a more comfortable driving experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic. The dampened hub in the clutch disc also plays a key role in reducing gear rattle, a common concern for performance vehicles. OS Giken is known for its attention to detail, and this clutch is no exception, built with durable materials to ensure longevity under normal to aggressive use.

This kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement. When installing, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage and resurface or replace it if necessary to ensure optimal clutch performance and lifespan. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding the procedure and any required tools.
