BMW FX500 Series Clutch Kit - Clutch Masters 03075-HDBL-R
The ultimate extreme duty street and/or road/drag racing system with rigid friction disc. Rigid-hub disc should be used with dual-mass flywheel.
The FX500 System uses the Power Plus I Pressure Plate with a custom, extremely durable, rigid Ceramic disc. This is the ultimate extreme duty street and/or road/drag racing system. It is available in a 6 or 8 ceramic puck configuration, with the 6-puck being the more aggressive setup and 8-puck being the less aggressive (please specify which type you prefer). The rigid hub design is more reliable than sprung hub but can be tricky to use in daily situations. A rigid disc should be used with a dual-mass flywheel but can be used with a single-mass if more noise and vibration can be tolerated. This disc is designed for outstanding holding capacity, and rapid heat dissipation.
High Technology Makes the Difference. Historically, high performance clutches have been a compromise. While improving holding or clamping pressure, manufacturers nearly always increase pedal pressure to an uncomfortable point, especially for stop-and-go traffic. Besides drivability concerns, additional pedal pressure can adversely affect stock clutch linkage and cause premature thrust bearing wear, leading to missed shifts, damaged clutch components, and even engine destruction. Today, thanks to Clutch Masters, increased holding pressure does not necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through their Hi-Leveragetm technique, Clutch Masters has increased clamping power, often without changing pedal pressure.
