Proven Clutch and Flywheel Combos from VAC
This kit combines an excellent JB Racing flywheel and either an OEM or ClutchMasters clutch package for a no compromise solution for your BMW.
These are proven packages made from scratch to be a perfect match for your m50 / S50 family engine and trans.
Looking for excellent drivability, durability and pedal feel? This setup fits the bill and are made to perform! No M5 pressure plate mixed together kits here, we don't like those and the feel and durability are inferior! These kits offer much better drivability than other and are more durable under the stresses your BMW will see...
Some of the benefits of this kit include:
- Combo pricing on quality products for high value
- Excellent power holding and longevity
- Sprung hub design to reduce transmission / clutch chatter normally associated with light weight flywheel setups
- Faster shifting and easier rev matching
- A smoother revving engine, getting more power to the ground!
ClutchMasters Flywheels:
A ClutchMasters flywheel though superior engineering increases durability where it counts: matched to a Clutchmasters performance clutch, this combo package is actually weighs less than competitive M5 based kits, meaning more power gets to the wheels and you go faster!
The Steel flywheel is recommended for the drag racer, or the street enthusiast that wants the easiest to drive, and quietest flywheel setup, while Aluminum is recommended for Road Racing and other installations.
OEM Clutch:
With the factory OEM Sachs M3 clutch, you get the smoothness and operation BMWs engineers intended for the M3. If your not tracking or not planning to modify your car much past standard 250BHP power levels, this may be just the ticket.
Clutchmasters Clutch:
By adding a sprung hub disc, chatter and noise gained by adding a lightweight flywheel is greatly reduced or nearly eliminated. Depending on your car's use, we offer four options to match your needs:
- ClutchMasters FX100 - Performance Organic - 40% higher holding capacity; works great up to 300WHP yet feels like stock or better! Superior alternative to 'M5' based kits
- ClutchMasters FX200 - Kevlar - 70% higher capacity, very smooth engagement, very long lifespan (2-3 times) feels like stock, but most be broken in carefully
- ClutchMasters FX300 - Sintered Kevlar - Segmented kevlar surface, 110% more capacity than stock, long life but can be slipped, feels almost like stock pedal effort. Holds super well while being smooth, most be broken in properly.
- ClutchMasters FX400 - 6-Puck Ceramic - hard use compound, gives up more smoothness for additional power handling capability - great for dual track use and hard street
- ClutchMasters FX400 - 4-puck Ceramic - hard use, basicaly an on/ off switch for maximum power handling capability - recomended for track use only
Pressure plate - With an increased clamping force on the pressure plate by changing the lever action, which adds a minimal amount of pedal stiffness compared to other methods.
All kits include selected flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate of choice, and throw-out bearing.
