Performance Clutches
VITEK Performance
Products is proud to offer only the highest quality premium
performance clutches for your import and domestic car
or truck. We recommend that you take a minute and study the
performance clutches characteristic chart below to ensure that you get the correct
clutch product to fit your needs. As with all VITEK products,
our performance clutches far exceed OE standards.
When making your decision on which performance clutch to buy for your
car, it is important to understand that the stoutest or
most expensive clutch money can buy, it may not be best for
your use. We receive many calls from people who have purchased
performance clutches from our competitors and find out later that they
can hardly drive the car because the clutch they purchased
was way too aggressive. At Vitek, our goal is to earn your
business by making sure that you get the right performance clutches for
your application.
Performance Clutches
Stage 1 - Offers approximately 25% increase in strength and
durability over your original equipment clutch while maintaining
the same smooth driving characteristics. It comes with a h
igh clamp pressure plate, steel-backed woven organic disk,
bearings, and tool.
Stage 2 - This clutch has a dual sprung disc with full face
Kevlar®. It offers the optimum street durability with smooth
engagement. The characteristics are more of a street/daily
driver feel however, this clutch can handle greater strain
and will last far longer than the OE Clutch. It comes with
a h igh clamp pressure plate, segmented chatter-free Kevlar
disc, bearings and installation tool.
Stage 3 - Comes with a dual sprung carbonic disc. It allows
for aggressive street and track driving while at the same time
still works well for daily driving. It is more aggressive than
a full-face disc and will easily handle Turbo/NOS etc. Sharp
but smooth engagement with light pedal. It is our best selling
clutch because it offers the best of both worlds. It comes
with a h igh-clamp pressure plate, 3-piece disc with carbon
or ceramic material, bearings, and the installation tool.
Stage 4 - This clutch has a 6 puck Un-sprung Disc. It is not
designed for your daily driver car. When using an un-sprung
clutch, you will probably experience moderate chatter. You
should be prepared to hear your passenger complaining about
the whiplash he or she will get every time you pull away from
a light. While it will handle extreme aggressiveness, it is
either engaged or disengaged with no ability to ease into the
clutch. Its optimum use is designed for rally racing.
Stage 5 - This clutch is for racing only. It is of a 3 puck
ceramic design and offers optimum performance for the drag
strip.
