OS Giken Mini COOPER/S R50/R53 STR Series Twin Plate w/Soft Diaphragm Clutch

The OS Giken STR Series Twin Plate Clutch Kit for your 2006-2013 Mini Cooper/S (R50/R53) features a unique sprung hub design with a soft diaphragm pressure plate. This setup is engineered to handle significantly more torque than the stock clutch, making it a solid choice for performance builds or if you're simply looking for a more robust drivetrain component. The twin plate design spreads the load across two friction surfaces, which helps manage the increased clamping force and heat generated under demanding use.

OS Giken is known for its well-built performance clutch systems, and this STR Series kit is no exception. It utilizes a soft diaphragm pressure plate, which is designed to offer a more comfortable pedal feel compared to some other high-performance twin-plate clutches. This can make a notable difference in daily driving, reducing fatigue in stop-and-go traffic. The sprung hub in the clutch disc helps to absorb driveline shock, contributing to a smoother engagement and reducing stress on other transmission components.

This kit includes the necessary components for a comprehensive clutch replacement, including the twin clutch discs, pressure plate, and a lightweight flywheel. While this is a high-performance clutch, it's important to note that installation will require specialized tools and knowledge, and it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and break-in procedures. If you're pushing your Mini Cooper's performance limits, this OS Giken clutch offers a strong, reliable upgrade for your drivetrain.
