RTS unique “Twin Friction” (drive plate) has been developed using a unique flywheel side friction material whilst adopting a segmented pressure plate face. The aramid friction exhibits 50% less wear than a conventional drive plate friction material.This material also reduces the effects of fade. Fade is the decline in the clutch system’s ability to transmit torque as operating temperatures increases. These features in combination with the previously mentioned micro-structure of spheroidal casting and ER2 technology allows the clutch kit to dissipate heat far more effectively, allowing the clutch to run cooler for longer. RTS kit has been designed with a higher clamp load enabling the clutch system to transmit 60% more torque over the standard clutch kit and is suitable for every day driving, fast road and track/circuit racing whilst maintaining user-friendly driving experience. RTS Twin Friction kit has been designed with a higher clamp load allowing. RTSTF-8008 (Twin friction) has been designed and manufactured to significantly exceed the original clutch system whilst also maintaining OE pedal effort, thus delivering a torque capacity of 440 lbs/ft of torque.RTSPC-8008 (5 paddle) has been designed and manufactured to significantly exceed the original clutch system whilst also maintaining OE pedal. effort, thus delivering a torque capacity of 480 lbs/ft of torque. Suitable for the following EA888 Gen 3 Manual Cars VW Polo 6C GTI 1.8TSI SEAT Ibiza 6P Cupra 1.8TSI

RTS has developed the ultimate SMF conversion kit & flywheel Single Mass Flywheel RTS Single Mass Flywheel offers a particularly suitable solution for vehicles where the original DMF is unable to dissipate heat effectively, but in addition, it offers greater longevity over DMF technology and is much more cost effective to replace.Technically, the SMF will reduce engine vibrations due to the increased inertia of the solid flywheel. In addition, the SMF is extremely durable, due to its efficient heat dissipation qualities and the lack of complex high wearing flywheel components.Additionally, providing increased protection to your transmission as our clutches absorb more NVH and a longer life over the troublesome DMF.Weighted the same as the OE DMF allowing you to keep the changes in pedal and noise down to a minimum, and keeping MOI (Moment Of Inertia) on the crank the same as the OE, as to minimise the risk of crank walk.   Twin Friction   RTS unique “Twin Friction” (drive plate) has been developed using a unique flywheel side friction material whilst adopting a segmented pressure plate face.

Paddle   Due to its inherent design, engines are subject to rotating fluctuations. To minimise/prevent this, the NVH is absorbed by RTS unique clutch damper – function which suppresses the movement of the free, spinning gears and vibration transmitted to the transmission. Paddle will hold more power as it has a ceramic pad material on both sides. This is more suited towards high power builds and non-daily / occasional track use. These performance clutches will have a heavier feel to it.   Suitable for the following 5 Speed Manual Cars Audi A1 (8X) Audi A3 (8L) Audi TT (8N) Seat Leon MK1 Seat Ibiza MK2 Seat Ibiza MK3 Seat Ibiza MK4 Seat Cordoba Seat Toledo MK2 Skoda Octavia MK1 Skoda Fabia MK2 Volkswagen Golf (MK3) Volkswagen Golf (MK4) Volkswagen Polo (MK4) Volkswagen Polo (MK5)
