Upgrade Your Drive: The RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit

Every motor enthusiast is always after something that can give their drive a better and more thrilling experience. This time, we turn our attention to one of the most vital components - the Clutch Kit. But not just any clutch kit; we are talking about the RTS Performance SMF Clatch Kit. Manufactured for a number of EA888 Gen 3 Manual Cars, including Volkswagen Golf Mk7 R, Volkswagen Golf Mk7 GTI, Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTI, Audi S3 8V, Audi TTS 8S, Seat Leon Cupra MK3 (All variants), and Skoda Octavia VRS Mk3, this clutch kit impresses on so many levels. One of the most exceptional highlights of the SMF clutch kit is the Twin Friction drive plate. This exceptional design incorporates a unique flywheel-side friction material while adopting a segmented pressure plate face. That’s not all. The aramid friction material brings with it the benefit of 50% less wear compared to the conventional drive plate friction material. Additionally, the SMF Clutch Kit's innovative design ensures it can run cooler for longer, thanks to the ability to dissipate heat more effectively, something every driver would appreciate. This feature is courtesy of the micro-structure of spheroidal casting and ER2 technology. In comparison to the standard clutch kit, the RTS teats you to 60% more torque, making it your perfect companion for everyday driving, fast road, and even track racing, all while maintaining a user-friendly driving experience. The RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit brings to market 3 main models: RTSHD-6006SMF (HD Organic), RTSTF-6006SMF (Twin Friction), and RTSPC-6006SMF (6 paddle). The HD Organic model enables you to enjoy a torque capacity of up to 405 lbs/ft, significantly more than the original clutch system, and still maintains OE pedal strength. The Twin Friction model improves the torque capacity to 495lbs/ft, while the 6 paddle variant takes it up to 550lbs/ft! Also worth mentioning is the Single Mass Flywheel (SMF), which is ideal for those vehicles where the original Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) struggles to dissipate heat effectively. In comparison to the DMF, the SMF offers better longevity and is far more cost-effective to replace. Technically, the SMF reduces engine vibrations thanks to the increased inertia of the solid flywheel, further enhancing its durability through effective heat dissipation and lack of complex, high-wearing flywheel components. Conclusively, the RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit is a great component worth having. With reduced fade, increased torque, impressive heat dissipation, and higher longevity, it's no doubt a worthwhile upgrade for any true car enthusiast.
