Spec 09-10 Audi S4/RS4 3.0L SC / 12-13 Audi S5 3.0L SC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit

The friction material on this SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit is a unique blend of high-performance organic and metallic compounds, specifically chosen to handle increased torque demands. This kit is built for the 2012-2013 Audi S5 with the 3.0L supercharged engine, and also fits the 2010 Audi S4 with the same powerplant. If you've upgraded your S5's supercharger or engine tuning and are finding your stock clutch slipping, this Stage 2+ kit is designed to put the power down reliably.

SPEC engineers this clutch to offer a significant increase in holding capacity over the factory unit, making it a solid choice for drivers who have modified their vehicles for more power. The kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate, a sprung-hub clutch disc featuring that advanced friction material, and a pilot bearing. The sprung hub design on the disc helps to absorb drivetrain shock, contributing to a smoother engagement than some other performance clutch options. While it's a performance upgrade, it's still designed for street drivability, aiming to provide a comfortable pedal feel for daily use.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or resurfaced to manufacturer specifications. This helps guarantee proper clutch engagement and longevity. This kit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process for a mechanic. It's a well-built component designed to handle the extra stress of a tuned 3.0L supercharged Audi engine.
