The Action Clutch ACR-1802-2OS Stage 1 HD clutch kit is engineered for 2004-2021 Subaru WRX STI models equipped with the 2.5L DOHC EJ257 turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive. Designed for stock vehicles and basic bolt-on applications, this kit provides dependable engagement, increased torque capacity, and consistent performance for demanding street driving and mild track use. It delivers approximately 100% greater holding capacity than the factory clutch kit while maintaining smooth, predictable operation.
The kit uses reinforced steel-backed copper Kevlar organic friction material paired with a single-diaphragm heavy-duty pressure plate. Increased clamping force improves torque retention under higher loads, while the organic friction compound helps preserve manageable engagement characteristics for street use. Pedal effort is approximately 20% higher than the Action Clutch Stage 1 1OS kit, offering a stronger pedal feel suited to drivers who need additional holding power without moving to an aggressive competition setup.
Safety and durability are built into the Action Clutch design. Patented, fully enclosed spring retainers help prevent springs from dislodging and protect the clutch assembly during operation. Each Action Clutch kit is quality checked by an experienced engineer before release, supporting reliable performance and consistent operation over time. The ACR-1802-2OS is a practical upgrade for Subaru WRX STI owners seeking heavy-duty street performance with mild track capability.
