Cooper S Performance Clutch Kit offers a nice upgrade from the factory setup with stock-like daily drivability and very good wear characteristics. Whether you are looking for something 'more durable' or 'better than stock', or a nice performance upgrade, the Stage 1 kit is a great fit. Torque Capacity of 257 ft-lbs.

Features an integrally molded carbon kevlar-based, high performance organic lining that offers smooth engagement and excellent life. This lining has an integrally bonded steel backing for strength under high clamp loads and temperatures. The solid hub clutch disk uses heat treated components for strength and durability. Best for street and many track/off-road applications.

These plates can feature clamp loads from 20%-40% higher than original equipment and have a very reasonable pedal requirement. The exclusive 360 degree pivot technology assures a perfectly even lift and disc clamp, maximized leverage, more consistent clamp load and minimized wear.
