• Extreme torque capacity: Supports up to 630 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for heavily modified engines and high-stress driving scenarios.
• Durable construction: Designed with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of drag racing and aggressive street driving.
• Improved clutch feel: Provides a more direct and responsive pedal feel compared to stock setups, giving you better control during shifts.
• Street and race use: While streetable, this clutch is optimized for racing and high-performance applications, so some additional pedal effort may be experienced.

Construction & Design

The Stage 5 Clutch Kit features a full-metallic friction disc paired with a robust pressure plate and a heat-treated hub assembly. The full-metallic disc ensures maximum friction and durability, especially under high heat and stress conditions. The heat-treated, solid 12-rivet hub provides exceptional strength, reducing the risk of failure during aggressive launches or high-RPM shifts. The assembly is engineered for precise engagement and consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for serious enthusiasts and racers.

Installation & Fitment

The SPEC Stage 5 Clutch Kit is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock clutch in the 2006-2009 Subaru WRX with a 2.0L turbocharged engine. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and tools; however, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and alignment. No modifications to the flywheel or transmission are typically necessary, but it is advisable to inspect and machine the flywheel if needed for optimal performance. Some drivability adjustments, such as clutch pedal free play, may be required.
