Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HA082-BR5?The HA082-BR5 is the OS Giken HTR Series Twin Plate Clutch system designed specifically for the 2017 to 2021 Honda Civic Type R FK8. It replaces the factory single-disc clutch with a twin plate setup that offers dramatically increased torque capacity and heat resistance for track and high-power street builds.
Does the HA082-BR5 include a flywheel?Yes. The OS Giken HTR Series clutch kit for the FK8 includes an OS Giken matched flywheel to ensure proper balance and engagement characteristics. Purchasing the clutch and flywheel as a matched system is recommended for optimal performance.
Is the OS Giken HA082-BR5 streetable for daily driving?The HA082-BR5 uses a high-friction organic disc compound that provides progressive engagement, making it more streetable than pure metallic race clutches. Some users daily drive on this clutch, though engagement is heavier than stock and requires adjustment in city traffic conditions.
What power level can the HA082-BR5 twin plate clutch handle?The twin plate design significantly exceeds the factory clutch torque rating and is suitable for heavily modified FK8 builds with upgraded turbos and engine internals. Consult OS Giken's published torque ratings for your specific application before ordering.
Does the HA082-BR5 fit the standard FK8 bell housing without modification?Yes. The OS Giken HTR clutch is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the FK8 transmission, retaining OEM bell housing and starter motor compatibility without requiring custom adapters or machining.
How does the OS Giken HTR twin plate compare to a stage 3 single disc clutch for the Civic Type R?The HTR twin plate design offers higher torque capacity and greater thermal resistance than most single-disc stage 3 solutions by using two friction surfaces rather than one. This makes the HA082-BR5 better suited for sustained track sessions and repeated power launches without heat fade.
What is the clutch pedal feel like with the HA082-BR5 installed?Pedal effort is noticeably heavier than the stock Civic Type R clutch due to the higher clamping pressure required for twin plate engagement. Most performance drivers find this acceptable for track-focused vehicles.
Is OS Giken a reputable brand for clutch systems?OS Giken is a well-respected Japanese manufacturer with an extensive motorsport pedigree. Their twin plate clutch systems are used in Super GT, Formula D, and global time attack competition, making OS Giken one of the most trusted names in the performance clutch market.

Clutch Components
A performance clutch system is one of the most impactful drivetrain upgrades available for any manual transmission vehicle. From street-friendly organic disc kits to heavy-duty ceramic setups built for drag racing and track use, matching the right clutch components to your power level and driving style keeps engagement consistent and power transfer reliable.Popular UpgradesStage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kits with upgraded pressure plates and organic or hybrid friction discs are the most popular choice for street builds making 300 to 500 horsepower. Stage 3 and Stage 4 ceramic or Kevlar disc setups handle the demands of forced induction or high-compression builds. Lightweight aluminum flywheels paired with upgraded clutch kits improve rev response and make gear changes faster on both street and track applications.What clutch stage do I need for my build?Stage 1 clutches are rated for lightly modified street engines up to about 350 horsepower. Stage 2 kits cover 350 to 500 horsepower with...

Clutch Kits - Multi
Multi-disc clutch kits bundle the friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing together in a single purchase, ensuring all worn components are replaced at the same time for consistent performance after install. These kits are available in organic, ceramic, and hybrid friction materials to match a wide range of power levels and driving styles.Popular UpgradesStage 2 and Stage 3 multi-disc clutch kits for LS, LT, small-block Ford, and Mopar applications are the most frequently purchased options for modified street vehicles. Kits that include a lightweight aluminum flywheel alongside the disc, pressure plate, and bearing are ideal for builds where improved rev response is a priority. OEM-spec replacement kits for high-mileage vehicles restore factory engagement feel without requiring individual component sourcing.What is included in a multi-disc clutch kit?A standard multi-disc clutch kit includes one or more friction discs, a matched pressure plate, and a release bearing. Some p...
