What is the difference between a Stage 2+ clutch and a stock clutch?

A Stage 2+ clutch, like this SPEC kit, is designed with a higher clamping force pressure plate and a more robust disc material. This allows it to handle more engine torque and power than a stock clutch, offering improved performance and durability for demanding use.

Does this clutch kit include a pilot bearing?

This SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a high-performance release bearing. Please refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of included components and any additional parts you may need.

What is the benefit of a sprung hub clutch disc?

A sprung hub clutch disc has springs installed in the hub. These springs help to dampen vibrations and absorb shock during engagement and disengagement, leading to a smoother feel and reducing stress on the drivetrain compared to a solid hub disc.

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and a high-performance release bearing. It's built to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8's drivetrain for spirited driving or track use.

The Stage 2+ design uses a sprung hub disc, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This means you get a stronger engagement without the harshness you might expect from a solid hub disc. The pressure plate is designed for increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can effectively transfer power to the transmission even under higher loads. This kit is a well-built replacement that aims to provide a noticeable improvement in clutch performance and longevity over the original equipment.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. Resurfacing or replacing the flywheel is often recommended to ensure optimal clutch engagement and prevent premature wear on your new components. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your factory clutch assembly.
