What is the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kit?

A Stage 1 clutch typically offers a slight improvement over stock, focusing on drivability. A Stage 2 clutch, like this SPEC kit, generally has a higher clamping force pressure plate and a more robust clutch disc designed to handle increased torque and more aggressive driving conditions.

Does this clutch kit include all the necessary parts for installation?

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. It is recommended to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary, as this is not typically included in clutch kits.

What kind of driving is this clutch kit best suited for?

This Stage 2 clutch kit is well-suited for drivers who have modified their Subaru's engine for more power or who engage in spirited driving. It offers improved engagement and durability over a stock clutch, making it a popular choice for performance-oriented builds.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit, part number SU072, is what you get when you're ready for a more robust clutch setup for your 1994-1995 or 1998-2006 Subaru Impreza, or compatible Baja, Forester, Legacy, or Outback models. Inside this box, you'll find the essential components: a heavy-duty pressure plate designed to handle more torque, a performance clutch disc engineered for better engagement, and a new release bearing to ensure smooth operation. This kit is a popular choice for Imprezas that see spirited driving or have had modifications that increase engine power.

The Stage 2 clutch is built to offer a noticeable improvement over the stock clutch, providing a firmer engagement feel that helps put the power down more effectively, especially when you're pushing the car. The pressure plate in this kit has a higher clamping force, which is crucial for preventing clutch slip under increased load. The clutch disc is designed with materials that can withstand more heat and abuse, making it a solid option for drivers who demand more from their drivetrain. It's a well-built package that balances performance with the reliability needed for daily driving, though expect a slightly firmer pedal feel compared to the original clutch.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a direct replacement for your original clutch assembly. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures for a smooth installation and proper break-in period to get the most out of your new clutch.
