What is the benefit of a steel dampened clutch disc?

A steel dampened clutch disc uses springs within the disc to absorb torsional vibrations and shock from the engine and drivetrain. This can lead to a smoother engagement and reduced stress on other components, making it more comfortable for daily driving compared to a non-dampened or solid-center clutch.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

This OS Giken Super Single clutch kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate. It is designed to be used with a compatible OS Giken flywheel, which is sold separately. It's recommended to use the specific flywheel recommended by OS Giken for optimal performance and to ensure proper fitment.

What kind of driving is this clutch best suited for?

This Super Single clutch is well-suited for drivers who have modified their RX-8 for increased power or engage in spirited driving. While the dampened design makes it more streetable than some other performance clutches, it's still a performance upgrade that offers improved holding capacity and a more direct engagement feel.
