If you're looking to give your Subaru a serious boost in clutch performance, the Advanced Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate SB020X is a solid choice. This isn't just any pressure plate; it's designed with a unique diaphragm setup that cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. I?ve had my hands on this plate, and let me tell you, the difference is noticeable right off the bat.
One of the standout features is that every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, which really kicks its performance into high gear. You can feel the difference in how the clutch engages?it's positive and firm, yet still manageable. Plus, it?s built to last. The precision cover stampings ensure that it?s not just sturdy but also consistent, which is crucial when you?re pushing your car to its limits.
With the Xtreme pressure plates, you?re looking at an increase in clamp load ranging from 50 to 120 percent. That means whether you?re tearing up the streets or hitting the track, you?ll have the confidence that your clutch can handle the heat. Just make sure you pair it with a street or race disc for the best performance.
