RTS Performance Uprated Clutch Kit (Twin Friction)
This new upgraded performance clutch for the Golf R, S3 and other EA888 Gen 3 equipped vehicles from RTS promises big things. The unique design combines a twin purpose friction plate utilising both organic and paddle designs with a retracting strap plate clutch assembly. The result is a clutch suitable for many stage 1/2/3 applications, with a much lighter feel than a standard paddle setup matching practicality with performance driving.

How does the dual friction material work?
Twin friction features comfortable drivability with more heat durability and better heat dissipation via an integration of organic and metal friction surfaces. RTS twin friction is the ultimate choice for matching practicality with performance driving.
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
