Exedy 2005-2007 Subaru Legacy H4 Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Thick Disc

The Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch with Thick Disc is engineered for high-powered street cars and weekend track builds that demand serious performance without sacrificing all-around usability. Designed for aggressive drivers pushing turbocharged or heavily modified naturally aspirated engines, this clutch kit offers significantly more torque capacity, heat resistance, and bite than a standard organic clutch—yet remains manageable for those who still need to drive their car to and from the track.

At the core of this system is a cerametallic friction disc using Exedy’s proprietary ceramic-metallic compound. The “thick disc” configuration ensures greater thermal capacity and improved wear resistance, extending the clutch's lifespan under repeated abuse. This thicker design absorbs more heat before it affects performance, making it a solid choice for drivers who frequently launch, shift hard, or spend extended time at high RPM. The segmented disc face delivers a more aggressive bite, allowing for quicker engagement while reducing the chance of slip under load.

The heavy-duty sprung center hub in this kit plays a key role in keeping the system streetable. By dampening torsional vibration and softening shock during engagement, it helps protect the drivetrain from sudden torque spikes—a critical benefit when dealing with high-output setups. The pressure plate itself delivers a substantial increase in clamping force compared to Stage 1, yet is engineered to avoid making the pedal feel unmanageable. Expect a firmer pedal, but not one that’s punishing.

While this clutch does require a more deliberate engagement and may produce some additional noise or chatter during low-speed driving, the trade-off is a clutch system that’s absolutely capable of keeping up with demanding performance mods. It's the ideal choice for dual-purpose cars that see both street and track use, drag strip launches, or mountain road abuse—especially when paired with forced induction.

Exedy is the leading manufacturer of racing clutches in Japan and supplies all six factory vehicle manufacturers' race teams. Unlike our competitors, our clutches are NOT rebuilt OE or modified stock clutches. ALL EXEDY racing and performance clutches are engineered, designed, and built from the ground up as true motorsport components—in the same facilities that produce our trusted OEM units. EXEDY’s product innovations are patented worldwide and developed in-house using state-of-the-art design, inspection, and testing equipment. Every clutch is subjected to extensive simulations that mimic the harshest driving conditions to guarantee real-world performance. And before a single part leaves the EXEDY factory, it undergoes both robotic and visual inspection to ensure quality you can stand behind.
