If you're serious about getting the most out of your Subaru's performance, the Advanced Clutch 4 Pad Rigid Race Disc 4240018 is a game changer. This isn't just any clutch disc; it's built from high-quality ceramic friction materials that really stand up to the heat of competition. You’ll notice the difference right away—while the engagement is a bit harsher, it allows for quicker shifts that can shave precious seconds off your lap times.
One of the standout features here is the robust rivet design. These aren't your average fasteners; they’re top-grade, carefully selected for maximum strength. You want a clutch that can take a beating, and this one’s got your back. The 4-pad design is particularly well-suited for smaller engines, making it an ideal fit for those of us who love to push our Subarus to the limit.
Now, let’s talk about installation. If you're looking to tackle this project yourself, you can find the detailed installation instructions here. It’s worth the effort, trust me.
When it comes to performance, this disc doesn’t hold back. It offers aggressive engagement and quick shifts, but be prepared for a bit more gear rattle. The ceramic materials provide a moderate wear rate and can handle high heat, although the rigid design might increase spline wear over time. Just keep that in mind if you're planning on using it regularly on the track.
Another thing I appreciate is the lightweight design. The chromoly hub is heat-treated, which means it’s built to last. This disc can hold 28% more torque than standard organic materials, which is a big deal when you’re looking to maximize your power output. Just remember, this disc is recommended for race use only—it's not for the faint of heart.
Here are some specs to keep in mind:
This clutch disc fits a variety of Subaru models, including:
In short, if you're looking to elevate your racing game, the 4240018 ACT 4 Pad Rigid Race Disc is worth considering. It's tough, reliable, and designed for those who take their performance seriously.
