XClutch 14-16 Kia Forte Koup SX 1.6L Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit

When you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your performance street vehicle, this XClutch Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit is a solid option. This kit includes everything you need to get the job done: a cushioned ceramic friction disc, a heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate, a hydraulic release bearing, a flywheel, a pilot bearing, and an alignment tool. It's designed for applications that need to handle more torque and heat than the stock clutch can manage, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts who push their vehicles hard.

The Stage 2 kit features a cushioned ceramic friction disc, which means it has a sprung hub and extra dampening built into the disc itself. This design helps to absorb shock and vibration, leading to a smoother engagement and improved pedal modulation compared to a standard sprung ceramic disc. The heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate provides increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can reliably transfer power, especially under demanding conditions. XClutch has over 30 years of experience in clutch technology, and they use advanced testing facilities to develop their performance upgrades.

This kit is specifically recommended for performance street use where high heat capacity is a must. The combination of the ceramic friction material and the robust pressure plate offers a significant upgrade over your factory clutch, giving you more confidence when you're driving spiritedly or dealing with stop-and-go traffic that can really heat things up. Make sure to consult the included technical service bulletins for any specific installation notes related to your vehicle.
