Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Disc Clutch Kit – Subaru Models (inc. 2002-2005 WRX)

Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Disc Clutch Kit, Subaru WRX / STI / Forester XT

The Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Disc Clutch Kit for the 2002-2005 Subaru WRX, 2004-2021 WRX STI, and 2004-2008 Forester XT replaces the factory clutch with a cerametallic disc system designed for modified EJ-series builds. The cerametallic friction compound provides significantly higher heat resistance and torque capacity than an organic disc while delivering engagement character appropriate for aggressive street and occasional track use.

DETAILS

• Disc: cerametallic, high heat resistance, elevated torque capacity
• Higher clamp load than Stage 1
• For modified EJ Subaru builds with substantial power increases
• Engagement: more positive than organic, adjustment recommended
• Covers WRX EJ20, STI EJ207/EJ257, Forester XT EJ255

The Exedy Stage 2 cerametallic disc is a full-size cerametallic unit, standard thickness with the copper-ceramic compound that provides its characteristic high-friction, heat-stable performance. The disc is rated for significantly more torque than organic alternatives, making it the correct specification for EJ builds running increased boost, aftermarket turbochargers, or other power modifications that have pushed past the Stage 1’s capacity.

The pressure plate in the Stage 2 kit uses a higher clamp load than the Stage 1 to match the cerametallic disc’s operating characteristics. The clamp load increase is meaningful, the pedal will feel heavier than a stock or Stage 1 installation, particularly in traffic. This is a reasonable trade-off for the increased holding capacity and heat resistance the cerametallic disc provides.

Why Choose Exedy

Exedy is the world’s largest clutch manufacturer and the OEM supplier to more than six major vehicle manufacturers globally, including Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and Mitsubishi. Every Exedy performance clutch is designed and manufactured as a purpose-built performance component, not a modified OEM part, not a remanufactured unit, but an engineered system built specifically for performance use from the ground up. Exedy’s research and development happens on actual race programs alongside their road car product development, meaning the technology that wins championships filters directly into the street performance catalog. When you install an Exedy clutch, you are installing a product from the company that builds the OEM clutch for the car it is replacing.
