What is the main benefit of a Stage 2+ clutch kit over a stock clutch?

A Stage 2+ clutch kit, like this SPEC SB303H, is designed to hold significantly more torque than a factory clutch. This makes it ideal for vehicles with engine modifications that produce more power or for drivers who want a more robust clutch for demanding use.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This SPEC clutch kit includes the clutch disc and the pressure plate. It is recommended to inspect and potentially resurface or replace your flywheel during installation, as this is a common practice with clutch replacements.

How does the sprung hub disc affect daily driving?

The sprung hub in the clutch disc helps to dampen vibrations and absorb some of the shock that can occur during engagement and disengagement. This can make the clutch feel more manageable and comfortable for everyday driving compared to a solid hub performance clutch.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to handle more power or just want a more robust clutch for your 1996-1999 BMW 328i, 1996-1999 328is, 1997-1998 528i, or 1997-1998 Z3 with the 2.8L engine, this SPEC Stage 2+ clutch kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to hold more torque than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who have modified their engines or plan to. It's a significant upgrade over a worn-out factory clutch, offering a more direct feel and better engagement.

SPEC has put together a well-built package here. The Stage 2+ designation means it uses a performance-oriented sprung hub disc and a high-pressure plate. The sprung hub helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a stiffer clutch, making it more manageable for daily driving than some other performance clutches. The higher clamping force from the pressure plate ensures that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged under load, preventing slippage even when you're putting down more power. This kit is designed to be a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly, simplifying the installation process.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's a good time to inspect your flywheel for wear or damage. If your flywheel is warped or has excessive heat spots, it's best to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch engagement and longevity. This SPEC clutch kit includes the clutch disc and the pressure plate, giving you the essential components to upgrade your drivetrain's holding capacity.
