An SFI approved single mass flywheel is recommended for this application to get optimal performance. This clutch system is designed for the racing climate. The pressure plate is precision balance for vibration free operation at high RPM. The pressure plate fulcrum is altered for a positive disengagement and a quick shift. The disc is engineered with a Dual Damped design to provide accurate control when accelerating through corners. The friction material is a hybrid using a full face Feramic (Sintered Iron) lining on the flywheel side and a high metal content Organic lining on the pressure plate side. Engagement is positive yet buffered due to the high graphite content unique to Feramic facings.

Stage 3 Daily Clutch Kit for BMW

Upgrade your BMW's clutch system with this Stage 3 Daily Clutch Kit, designed for high-performance vehicles seeking OEM-like start performance. Engineered with a Race Engineered (SS) pressure plate, this kit offers a significant load increase over stage 1 and 2 pressure plates, providing enhanced durability and performance. Experience a 20%-25% increase in pedal effort, ensuring precise control during acceleration. The discs are equipped with heat-treated wear-resistant hubs, drive plates, and springs for optimal load transfer and reliable operation. The sprung centers and marcel fin on the disc deliver dual dampening effects for smooth starts, similar to OEM performance. With a Performance Organic friction material, this kit enhances torque and RPM capability while maintaining low operating temperatures to minimize wear and glazing.

• Suitable for daily driving, spirited street, and occasional track use
• Rated to hold up to 500lbs/ft of torque
• Features a sprung hub clutch compatible with SouthBend Single Mass Flywheel (ES4140474)

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate, a Performance Street sprung clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the R6 racing clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disc with 6 pads that is best suited for drag and road racing and handles heat better thanks to its increased surface contact area versus the 4 pad version of this disc, the R4. The R6 pads are composed of ceramic friction materials and the disc has a chome-moly hub that is heat treated for additional strength under high load engagements. Over stock, this disc is much better for faster shifting and significantly higher torque loads. Unlike the stock disc, this racing disk has a slightly shortened life span due to its rigid design and pad composition. This in turn is offset thanks to its fast, aggressive engagement for track use.

The final main component is the XACT Streetlite Flywheel. This option is the most popular thanks to it versatility for street driving and drag/track style racing, its lighter weight for increased throttle response, and its single mass design.
