EXEDY Racing Stage 1 Heavy Duty RX8 Clutch Kit

DESCRIPTION

This EXEDY 10803AHD is perfect for an RX8 for Autocross, track or higher HP applications. Exedy/Daikin Clutch is one of the largest suppliers of both stock OEM and performance aftermarket clutch components.

This complete RX8 Exedy Stage 1 Heavy Duty clutch kit includes a sprung hub, organic compound disc (226 mm OD), upgraded pressure plate (2365 clamp load), replacement throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and a clutch installation alignment tool.

This complete RX8 Clutch kit is ideally suited for street or modified RX-8s, and the drivability of the organic material disc are similar to the stock RX8 clutch. Increased pressure plate clamping loads provide the necessary capacity to handle the performance demands of modified RX8 engines and spirited RX8 driving. Although pedal loads will be slightly higher because of the increased clamping load, this kit is well suited for use on a daily-driven RX8. All Exedy discs feature a sprung-hub center to reduce drive train shock and to ease clutch engagement.

This is a complete kit at a great price! If you are considering replacing your clutch assembly with an aftermarket kit, the Exedy components offer a super combination of performance and value. Exedy uses a more conservative duty cycle rating than other choices and this Heavy Duty unit is still rated to handle torque up to 237 Ft/lbs which will cover most lower boost turbo kits.

RX-8 Exedy Application Guide

Good-Win Racing offers several different clutch packages for the RX-8, each intended for a specific application. Use this reference guide to determine the package that best meets your requirements:

Exedy Stage 1 - This is the preferred clutch for street and light horsepower track use. Driveability is similar to the stock clutch with smooth engagement characteristics. Pedal efforts will be slightly higher due to the approx 25% higher clamp loads. The clutch disc is equipped with spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock. Rated wheel torque - 237 ft/lbs.

Exedy Stage 1 HD The Heavy Duty (HD) clutch package features the exact same disc as the Stage 1 package, but this kit is equipped with a more aggressive pressure plate for use with higher horsepower applications. This pressure plate offers higher clamping forces and pedal efforts will be greater due to the approx. 40% higher clamping loads as compared with the stock pressure plate. The clutch disc is equipped with spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock. Rated wheel torque - 296 ft/lbs.

Exedy Stage 2 This kit features a low-inertia cerametallic disc with a sprung hub center for use on "street/strip/weekend racer" applications. These components are intended to handle the abuse of higher-powered modified engines and can typically handle more abuse than stock-type disc assemblies without slipping and fading. The sprung hub center offers ease of engagement vibrations at idle and during acceleration/deceleration. Clutch engagement is very abrupt and best suited for use in racing and high performance driving applications not recommended for street use. Rated wheel torque - 269 ft/lbs.

Exedy Stage 2 HD The Heavy Duty (HD) clutch package features the exact same disc as the Stage 2 package, but this kit is equipped with a more aggressive pressure plate for use with higher horsepower applications. This pressure plate offers higher clamping forces and pedal efforts will be greater due to the approx. 14% higher clamping loads as compared with the Stage 2 pressure plate. The sprung hub center offers ease of engagement vibrations at idle and during acceleration/deceleration. Clutch engagement is very abrupt and best suited for use in racing and high performance driving applications not recommended for street use. Rated wheel torque - 337 ft/lbs.
