Spec 07-12 Audi S5 4.2L Stage 3+ Clutch Kit

This is the SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit specifically for the 2008-2012 Audi S5 equipped with the 4.2L engine. If you're looking to handle more power or simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving, this kit is designed to meet those needs. It's a significant upgrade over the stock clutch, built to handle increased torque and provide a more direct connection between your engine and the drivetrain.

The Stage 3+ kit features a high-performance sprung clutch disc paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate. The sprung disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration typically associated with higher-performance clutches, making it more manageable for daily driving than a solid disc. The heavy-duty pressure plate offers increased clamping force, which is crucial for preventing clutch slip under load, especially if you've modified your S5 for more power. This combination is well-suited for applications where the vehicle sees frequent hard acceleration, track use, or towing.

When installing this kit, it's important to ensure the flywheel is resurfaced or replaced, and that all associated components like the pilot bearing and release bearing are in good condition. A proper break-in procedure, as recommended by SPEC, is also essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the clutch. This kit is a solid choice for S5 owners who demand more from their clutch system.
