Our Experience
Our experience over the past few years shows that Stage 1 is a cost-effective and proven solution that works reliably in practice. It offers significantly higher load-bearing capacity and is ideal for high-performance road vehicles.
Important to note: In vehicles with all-wheel drive that frequently perform very aggressive launch control or 0–100-km/h starts, the standard electric clutch basket remains a known weak point. Due to the significantly higher stress, it may crack in its standard configuration.
For this reason, we recommend Stage 1 primarily for rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicles or for all-wheel-drive vehicles that do not undergo regular hard starts. Drivers who frequently use Launch Control or need maximum stability for drag racing or track driving should opt for a version with a reinforced electronic clutch basket.
