New Performance Clutches

A performance clutch or racing clutch, won't make your car go faster, but it will make your money go faster. Many people that purchase racing clutches, really don't need one. Unless you've done major modifications to your vehicle in terms of torque capacity and clamp load, you don't need a performance clutch. If you have such modifications, Exedy Racing Clutches are your best answer. Exedy is the only company that manufactures a complete line of racing clutches. The keyword here is "manufacture". An Exedy racing clutch costs significantly more than all other racing clutches, but there's no comparison. An Exedy racing clutch will outlast any other performance clutch on the market and will have better drivability. If your vehicle isn't modified, buying a performance clutch is a waste of money. It's like taking your money and throwing it away. The only exception to this is with LuK Pro Gold. LuK Pro Gold Clutches will always outlast an original quality clutch, whether you have modifications or not. If you have a truck and haul loads, there's nothing better than a LuK Pro Gold Clutch. LuK Pro Gold drives like a stock replacement clutch.

Upgrading a vehicle to meet the challenges of extreme conditions requires an upgrade to a performance clutch. Engine, suspension, tire and gearing modifications require clutches with a higher clamp load and torque capacity than a stock clutch can deliver. LuK PRO GOLD PERFORMANCE is a high performance clutch set that’s engineered – not modified – to handle the torque, heat and punishment of extreme conditions without sacrificing clutch life.

Exedy manufacturers a line of racing clutches for the street and also has racing clutches for the serious track racer. Please don't confuse this product with the stock modifiers. There's a big difference in price and quality. A stage 2 clutch by Exedy Racing costs 50% to 100% more. Exedy also makes a thin disc stage 2 clutch that they don't recommend for street use (strip only). If you want a true performance clutch that was manufactured to be a performance clutch, Exedy is the answer.

I'm sure many people have been thinking about all the other company's claiming to manufacture performance clutches? Let's look at some popular company's.
