Spec 07-17 Audi S5 / 10-16 Audi S4/RS4 Stage 2 Clutch Kit

If you're looking to get more out of your Audi S4, RS4, or S5, the SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit is a solid option for handling increased power. This kit is designed to replace your stock clutch assembly, offering a significant upgrade for drivers who have modified their vehicles or plan to. It's built to handle more torque than the original clutch, making it suitable for performance applications where the factory unit might start to slip.

At the heart of this Stage 2 kit is a high-performance friction disc paired with a robust pressure plate. The disc uses a unique material compound that provides a strong grip without being overly grabby, aiming for a comfortable engagement that still feels direct. The pressure plate is engineered to offer increased clamping force, ensuring that power is transferred efficiently to the drivetrain, even under demanding conditions. This combination is what allows the clutch to hold more power than a stock setup. SPEC includes a pilot bearing and a high-quality alignment tool to help ensure a smooth installation process.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure. This typically involves a period of gentle driving to allow the new friction surfaces to mate properly. This step is crucial for maximizing the lifespan and performance of the clutch. While this kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect the flywheel for any signs of wear or damage, as it may need resurfacing or replacement to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch.
