FAQ

What is different about the RST HD compared to the standard RST?

The RST HD uses a hybrid friction combination, organic on one side of each disc and segmented ceramic on the other, for a higher horsepower rating than the standard organic-only RST while retaining reasonable street manners.

What input shaft spline does this kit use?

1-1/8 in. with 26 splines.

What is the horsepower rating of this clutch?

Will this fit an LS1 or LS6 flat-style flywheel car?
