Opel Corsa B 1.7 CDTI 16V Clutch plate (100 hp Diesel Z 17 DTH)

A reinforced clutch cover has fundamental advantages against Performance clutch disc differences to OE: higher Rigid, sintered disk an OE clutch cover, such as a higher transmittable torque transmittable torque, higher burst number of revolutions, and higher resistance against thrust. It also allows for start performance similar to OE, effortless exchange with OE clutches. faster and sportier gearshifts. That makes it extremely Typical applications include: application field of dual mass useful for street tuning, endurance races, hill climbing (group N) and for vehicles that are often driven with their flywheels, chip tuning, turbocharger and supercharger maximum gross vehicle weight (construction-site vehicles, modifications, towing trailers, commercial vehicle, ambulances, courier services such as UPS, TNT; DHL, etc.). snowremoval vehicle, passenger car: emergency service, Both rigid and torsion damper clutch discs are available. driving school, taxi, vehicles with maximum gross vehicle Clutch discs with torsion springs function as a vibration weight and according to high load (construction-site damper between engine and gearbox. vehicles, towing service, campers, ambulance cars, etc.), 1/4 mile-race, race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, Due to reinforced clutch components the pedal force can autocross), hill climbing (e.g. group N), rally, slalom, increase and the modulation range can be reduced. Additional clutch and gear noises can appear. drift racing

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.
