2013–2016 Subaru BRZ 2.0L (4U-GSE/FA20) RWD
ACR-1755
Overview:
The Action Clutch Stage 3 Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru BRZ owners seeking enhanced clutch performance and durability. Designed specifically for the 2013 to 2016 Subaru BRZ equipped with the 2.0L DOHC FA20 engine, this kit is ideal for drivers who demand reliable power transfer under aggressive driving conditions. Whether you’re tackling spirited street driving, occasional drag racing, or drifting, this clutch kit delivers a significant upgrade over the factory unit.
Featuring a heavy-duty single diaphragm pressure plate and a Sprung MIBA Ceramic disc, the Stage 3 kit offers quicker engagement and improved holding capacity, making it a perfect choice for low to mild horsepower builds. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance and longevity, providing enthusiasts with confidence and control behind the wheel.

- Sprung MIBA Ceramic disc available in 4 or 6 puck configurations for quicker engagement
- Reinforced drive straps to increase durability and reduce wear
- Patented fully enclosed spring retainers to prevent spring failure and protect drivetrain components
- 170% increased holding capacity compared to the factory clutch kit
- Designed for low to mild horsepower applications with occasional drag, road, and drift racing use
- Quality checked and signed off by experienced engineers to ensure reliability
- Compatible with the Subaru BRZ’s rear-wheel-drive layout and FA20 engine
Construction & Design:
The Stage 3 Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered using premium materials to withstand high stress and heat. The single diaphragm pressure plate provides consistent clamping force while reducing pedal effort, enhancing drivability. The Sprung MIBA Ceramic disc features a unique ceramic friction material that offers excellent heat resistance and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even under aggressive use.
Reinforced drive straps improve the structural integrity of the clutch assembly, minimizing the risk of failure during high torque loads. Additionally, the patented fully enclosed spring retainers secure the springs firmly in place, preventing catastrophic damage caused by spring ejection—a common failure point in lesser clutch kits.
Performance & Sound
The Sprung MIBA Ceramic disc delivers a quicker clutch engagement, which translates to more immediate power transfer and improved throttle response. While this results in some initial clutch chatter, it typically diminishes after proper break-in. This characteristic is a trade-off for the enhanced performance and control offered by the kit, making it suitable for drivers who prioritize responsiveness and precision.
Installation & Fitment:
The Action Clutch Stage 3 Kit is a direct fit replacement for the Subaru BRZ models from 2013 through 2016 with the 2.0L FA20 engine. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and does not typically necessitate modifications to the transmission or drivetrain. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper setup and optimal performance.
