Description
The HKS LA Clutch Kit is designed for owners of the 2022+ Toyota GR86 (ZN8) and 2022+ Subaru BRZ (ZD8) who seek a high-performance, reinforced clutch system. With a focus on lightweight design, enhanced torque capacity, and smooth pedal feel, this kit offers the perfect balance for street and track driving. It is optimized for vehicles equipped with the HKS GT2 S/C or BOT kit, ensuring durability under high torque.
Key Features
-
Optimal Torque Capacity
- Allowable Torque: 440 N·m (45 kgf·m), ideal for up to 310 kW (420 PS) output when paired with HKS GT2 S/C or BOT kits.
- The kit provides sufficient torque capacity for GR86/BRZ without compromising on performance.
-
Improved Pedal Feel
- The LA Clutch Kit is designed to offer a pedal force comparable to the factory clutch, unlike previous reinforced HKS clutches which were known for their heavy pedal feel.
- Stepping Force: 180 N, 26% higher than the stock clutch (143 N), ensuring a controlled yet responsive feel.
-
Advanced Materials & Durability
- New MG Composite Disc: The lightweight, heat-resistant composite disc enhances wear resistance and minimizes friction reduction at high temperatures.
- The clutch provides smooth performance during normal starts, with no slippage during circuit driving.
-
Optimized Flywheel Weight
- The weight of the flywheel is tailored for the specific needs of the GR86/BRZ, optimizing acceleration and response without causing jerky behavior at low RPM.
- Flywheel weight reduced by 45%, from 10 kg to 5.5 kg, contributing to better throttle response.
-
Strap Drive Mechanism
- The clutch cover uses a Strap Drive Mechanism for smooth disengagement without any noise, even in residential areas or stop-and-go driving.
- Reduces abnormal noise generation while protecting the drive system.
-
Improved Heat Resistance & Reliability
- The clutch disc’s composite materials have been specifically designed to handle higher temperatures and prevent wear from aggressive driving.
Kit Includes
- Clutch Cover Assy
- Clutch Disc Assy
- Flywheel
- Bolts for Clutch Cover
- Pilot Bearing
Precautions
- The LA Clutch Kit is designed for use within the allowable torque range. Exceeding this limit can lead to slippage, especially in high-RPM situations.
- Some chattering noise from the transmission may occur during acceleration or deceleration at around 2000 RPM.
Benefits
- Balanced Performance: Smooth pedal feel with sufficient torque capacity for high-performance driving.
- Reduced Weight: Lighter flywheel and clutch disc for better response and acceleration.
- Enhanced Durability: Advanced friction materials designed for high-temperature resistance and wear prevention.
- Silent Engagement: No clutch noise during disengagement due to the Strap Drive Mechanism.
