Discs are assembled with heat-treated wear resistant hubs; drive plates and springs for high load transfer and dependable operation. The sprung centers on the disc, in conjunction with the marcel fin between the linings, create a dual dampening effect that simulates O.E. start performance. A Performance Organic friction material with a high metal content increases torque and RPM capability and maintains low operating temperatures reducing wear and glazing. \u003cstrong\u003e Recommended usages are daily, spirited street and occasional track.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"circuit\"\u003eStage III Endurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yui-u first\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit uses the same Race Engineered SFI approved pressure plate as the Stage 3 Daily upgrade. The disc is designed for the special needs of a vehicle with circuit racing in mind. Kevlar friction material is used for its unique static to dynamic ratios of friction co-efficients at high energy levels. This translates to a perfect transition from one gear to the next. Discs are assembled with only performance components and equipped with torsion springs functioning as a damper between engine and gearbox. \u003cstrong\u003e Recommend usages are Rally, Endurance Race, Clubsport, Autocross, Street and Daily.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"circuit\"\u003eStage III Drag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yui-u first\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clutch package is built to handle heavily modified cars and designed to function according to the specific needs of the ¼ and 1\/8th mile track. The pressure plate for this kit is SFI approved Race Cover engineered to disengage with less pedal travel shortening the shift time. Discs are a puck design, which reduces rotational mass and are assembled with all high carbon component pieces for maximum strength. The friction material used is Graphite impregnated Ceramic perfectly suited for drag racing because of its maximum friction co-efficient, rapid heat dissipation and abrupt engagement characteristics.\u003cstrong\u003e Recommended uses are Drag, Towing and Drifting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yui-gb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yui-u\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlywheel Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yui-u first\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlywheels manufactured by DXD are made from low carbon, hot rolled steel that is highly resistant to warping and perfectly suited for the friction materials mated to them.
