XClutch 05-11 Lotus Elise Base 1.8L Stage 1 Sprung Organic Clutch Kit

If you're looking to replace the clutch in your 2005-2011 Lotus Elise Base with the 1.8L engine, this Stage 1 Sprung Organic Clutch Kit from XClutch is a solid option. This kit is designed to give you a noticeable step up in performance and torque handling compared to your original clutch, while still keeping things comfortable for daily driving.

XClutch has put a lot of thought into these kits. They use an updated pressure plate design and a specific friction material composition to find that sweet spot between driveability and increased performance. The diaphragm in the pressure plate is a heavy-duty type, which helps increase clamping force for better engagement. The sprung organic clutch disc itself offers excellent dampening and is recommended for street use, making it a great choice for a performance-oriented street car.

When you get this kit, you'll find everything you need for the job. It includes the friction disc, the pressure plate, a hydraulic release bearing, and the pilot/aligning tool to make installation smoother. This is a single-disc setup, and the sprung design helps absorb some of the shock during engagement, which contributes to that comfortable pedal feel and ease of use.
