What makes this a Stage 5 clutch?

A Stage 5 clutch typically signifies a high-performance, multi-plate setup designed to handle significantly more horsepower and torque than a stock clutch. This SPEC kit uses a multi-plate design to increase the friction surface area, allowing it to manage extreme power levels.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the performance pressure plate, the multi-plate clutch discs, a pilot bearing, and an alignment tool. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures.

What is the benefit of a sprung clutch disc?

A sprung clutch disc has springs integrated into its hub. These springs help to absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads during engagement and disengagement, which can lead to a slightly smoother feel and reduced drivetrain stress compared to a solid hub design.
