Unleash Your Vehicle's Potential with the RTS Performance Clutch Kit
Car enthusiasts understand that improving the performance of a vehicle is not just about adding a turbocharger or installing a custom exhaust system, but it's also in the finer details, such as the clutch. One exceptional upgrade to consider is the RTS Performance Clutch Kit for 2.0TFSI Mk5 Golf GTI/Scirocco R, Leon/Cupra, A3/S3/TT, Octavia VRS - available in Twin Friction or 5 Paddle options.
The RTS performance clutch kit offers a significant upgrade from the standard clutch system found in most cars. Among it's various features, there are two standouts. The first is the use of a unique friction material on the flywheel side, which exhibits 50% less wear than a conventional drive plate friction material. In addition to that, the clutch kit incorporates a segmented pressure plate face, a combination that effectively curtails fade. As racing enthusiasts would know, fade is the term coined for reduced capacity to transmit torque due to increasing operating temperatures. The unique make-up and the ER2 technology incorporated in this clutch kit helps it dissipate heat far more efficiently, allowing it to function coolly, even under duress.
The RTS Performance Clutch Kit has been designed with a higher clamp load that allows the clutch system to transmit 60% more torque over the standard clutch kit. An added bonus is that transmittance of this increased torque doesn't sacrifice user-friendly driving experience. It's a perfect balance between everyday road driving and circuit/track racing.
There are two noteworthy variations of the RTS performance clutch kit. The RTSTF-5389 (Twin friction) and the RTSPC-5389 (5 paddle). Both of these significantly exceed the original clutch system while maintaining OE pedal effort. The Twin Friction offers a torque capacity of 440 lbs/ft, while the 5 Paddle variant delivers a stronger 480 lbs/ft of torque.
To cater to specific needs, the RTS clutch kit is also available as an SMF Kit that includes a Flywheel - for that extra punch of performance.
The RTS Performance Clutch Kit, with its advanced design, high-quality materials, and superior performance, is suitable for EA113 ‘T-FSI’ 6 Speed Manual Cars including various models of Audi, SEAT Leon Cupra and Volkswagen. These include the Audi A3 (8P), Audi S3 (8P), Audi TT (8J), Audi TTS (8J), SEAT Leon Cupra R, and several Volkswagen models, notably the Golf GTI, EOS, Jetta, and Scirocco 'R'.
In conclusion, for those seeking an upgrade that offers not just increased performance, but also long-lasting durability and efficiency, the RTS Performance Clutch Kit for 2.0TFSI is a worthy addition. It guarantees you a thrilling, smooth drive every time you're behind the wheel.
