The stage 1 clutch kit is manufactured to OE spec and can easily and reliably handle engine power up to 180bhp. For higher power applications please see the uprated clutches below. ( BC008 )

The Stage 2 clutch kits are designed for applications where engine or vehicle performance has been upgraded from standard. These clutches offer a higher clamping load to handle increased torque capacity and higher engine RPM, while still maintaining a standard pedal feel. ( BC042 )

The Stage 3 and Stage 4 clutch kits combine a heavy-duty cover/pressure plate with a high-performance, four-paddle Cerametalic clutch plate. Despite the heavy-duty pressure plate, the clutch maintains a usable pedal feel, albeit slightly heavier than a standard clutch which makes them very useable on the road and in traffic. The four-paddle Cerametalic clutch plate ensures quick gear changes, maximizing throttle time and making it ideal for track, racing and rally use. ( BC043 ) ( BC008PAD )
