Cushioned ceramic control for your BRZ 2.0L
The XClutch XKSU23012-1C Stage 2 kit uses a sprung cushioned ceramic disc. Added damping between its friction surfaces improves modulation, and the manufacturer recommends it for performance street use requiring high heat capacity. Match the exact manual drivetrain and release arrangement, not simply the model badge.
Key Features
- Stage 2 single-disc cushioned ceramic design with a sprung hub.
- 400 lb-ft clutch capacity including the manufacturer's factor of safety.
- 26% manufacturer-listed clamping-force increase.
- 9 1/16-inch disc with a 1-inch, 24-spline interface.
- Release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool included; no flywheel.

About XClutch
XClutch is designed and developed in Australia by Australian Clutch Services. Its application-specific range uses different friction materials, hub designs and release arrangements to suit different driving requirements. A higher stage number is not automatically the best daily-driving choice.

FAQ
What is the XKSU23012-1C?It is an XClutch Stage 2 single-disc cushioned ceramic clutch kit with a sprung hub for the listed manual applications. Release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool are included; a flywheel is not.
Is this only for the BRZ tS?No. The exact manufacturer BRZ rows include Premium and Limited. The selected 2013–2020 application is the 2.0L FA20D manual BRZ; repeated special-edition labels are not a blanket fitment approval.
What is its torque rating?The exact manufacturer lists 400 lb-ft including its factor of safety. This is clutch torque capacity, not added engine power or a rating for the entire drivetrain.
What does cushioned ceramic mean?The manufacturer describes a sprung hub with additional damping between the friction surfaces to improve modulation. Its recommended use is performance street driving requiring high heat capacity; this is not a guarantee of stock pedal feel or silent operation.
Is a flywheel included?No. The listed release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool are supplied, but the flywheel must be assessed and sourced separately if needed.
Can I reuse torque values from another clutch kit?No. Follow this kit and the vehicle workshop instructions for cover fasteners, flywheel service, release setup and bleeding. A shared brand or stage designation does not establish identical installation settings.
Does the clamp increase mean more engine power?No. The 26% figure is the manufacturer's listed clamping-force increase. It does not mean that the kit adds horsepower, increases engine torque or raises the rating of other drivetrain parts.
Are linked alternatives included or interchangeable components?No. Alternative complete kits are separately sold choices for their specifically stated applications and driving requirements. Select one verified complete configuration; do not mix kits based on a shared model name.
Installation Instructions
- Before fitting XKSU23012-1C, have a qualified installer verify the complete application and read all supplied kit instructions.
- Use the complete kit instructions and vehicle workshop procedure for flywheel condition, cover alignment, release-system inspection, fastener sequence and applicable torque values.
- Keep grease and oil off the friction surfaces. Inspect the flywheel and release hardware, align the disc correctly and support the gearbox throughout installation; never pull an incorrectly aligned gearbox into place with its bolts.
- Complete the application-specific hydraulic or release setup and check full engagement and disengagement before driving. Do not copy torque values, slave-cylinder procedures or adjustment settings from a different kit.
- Confirm full release and correct engagement before final reassembly and road testing. Follow the prescribed bedding procedure before high-load use; do not substitute a guessed break-in distance.
