Opel Astra G Estate 2.0 OPC Clutch plate (200 hp Petrol Z 20 LET)

A reinforced clutch cover has fundamental advantages against Torsion dampered clutch disc with sintered metal plates Torsion-sprung, sintered disk an OE clutch cover, such as a higher transmittable torque Performance clutch disc differences to OE: the torque damper and higher resistance against thrust. It also allows for has a higher stop position (maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets), higher faster and sportier gearshifts. That makes it extremely thermal capacity compared to organic friction material, useful for street tuning, endurance races, hill climbing (group N) and for vehicles that are often driven with their higher transmittable torque compared to organic friction material, clutch discs with torsion springs function as maximum gross vehicle weight (construction-site vehicles, ambulances, courier services such as UPS, TNT; DHL, etc.). vibration damper between engine and gearbox, very dirt Both rigid and torsion damper clutch discs are available. resistant, aggressive start performance, effortless exchange Clutch discs with torsion springs function as a vibration with OE clutches. damper between engine and gearbox. Typical applications include: race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross), hill climbing (e.g. group N), rally, Due to reinforced clutch components the pedal force can increase and the modulation range can be reduced. Additional slalom, drift racing, 1/4 mile-race clutch and gear noises can appear.

Technically it is possible to combine ATE Ceramic brake pads with the PowerDisc or with perforated brake discs. The brak ing power with such a pairing is the same as with an origina l ATE brake pad or OE brake pad. However, when the two compo nents interact they can generate more noise in braking. ATE Ceramic brake pads were developed for comfort-oriented drive rs. We therefore recommend using them with normal brake disc s, i.e. smooth ones.

For vehicles without ABS, a PowerDisc can be used on the rea r axle only if there is one on the front axle. The General Operating Permit (ABE) for the PowerDisc applies to operation on German roads in accordance with the German Road Traffic Registration Ordinance (StVZO). Other countries may require additional type approvals for use on roads.
