What is the main difference between this Stage 1 clutch and the factory clutch?

The SPEC Stage 1 clutch is designed with a higher performance friction material and a more robust pressure plate. This allows it to handle more torque than the stock clutch and offers improved durability, especially for spirited driving.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the pressure plate and the friction disc. It is recommended to also replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing, which are typically sold separately, to ensure a complete and reliable clutch job.

Will this clutch make my pedal harder to press?

The Stage 1 clutch is designed to offer a firm pedal feel that is still comfortable for daily driving. While it will be firmer than a worn-out stock clutch, it is not excessively stiff and aims to provide a good balance of engagement and comfort.
