Save $45 by purchasing the RS4 Clutch/Flywheel combo package.

The AWE Tuning RS4 clutch kit consists of everything that you need for reliable, high torque transfer of power to the ground. Since it is so easy to get big torque figures from the 2.7T motor, the stock clutch quickly becomes the weak link in the application of this power. The clutch components from the 380hp Europe-only RS4 are beefy enough to withstand almost double what the OEM US 2.7T components are capable of handling. European RS4 owners regularly push their engines to over 420hp with no clutch issues.

This complete kit consists of RS4 clutch disc, RS4 pressure plate, and OEM throw out bearing. This clutch kit is designed to handle big power while maintaining very similar to stock driving characteristics. Quite often, aftermarket clutch kits sacrifice too many of the characteristics that make a clutch easy to live with everyday, resulting in extremely high pedal effort, abrupt engagement, and lessened component life. We decided to use these components since they can take the abuse of what most enthusiasts dish out, without going overboard and ruining the daily driving experience.

Regular dragstrip or driver event attendees may want to consider using our Stage 2 clutch kit, designed to handle repeated aggressive launches.

For 2.7T owners looking for lightning fast throttle response and engine spool up, add our lightweight flywheel. This aluminum flywheel weighs in 13.6 lbs lighter than the stock unit (13.4lbs) and comes complete with a factory pilot bearing and all mounting hardware. Less rotating mass means liberated engine power.

Beware of companies using sintered bronze or iron lined discs in their street clutch kits. Sintered bronze and iron have excellent power holding capabilities, but are extremely aggressive to the pressure plate and flywheel, resulting in a very short service life. Expect only 3-4000 miles out of a clutch kit that uses a sintered bronze or iron lined disc.
