Heavy duty clutch springs....... Which ones??
Sloan85 - 5/11/12 at 11:33 PM

I was planning on replacing the clutch springs for heavy duty ones. Are EBC springs ok to use?

CSK128 H/Duty Clutch Springs - Suzuki GSXR1000 K1-K4 (2001-2004)

If not does anyone have any recommendations?


Also I read something about someone only changing half their springs (3 of 6) for heavy duty ones???? I think I have 5 so i guess i replace them all?

Cheers




also again, i guess it may be worth replacing clutch plates before I put the engine in the car? There are some heavy duty EBC ones on ebay, would these be any good? Any reason to get heavy duty ones over standard?

Cheers!!

I always use Barnett heavy duty clutch springs, below is a picture of the uprated springs the one on the middle is the standard zx10r springfrom my old clutch, the one in the left is the EBC uprated, and the one on the right is the Barnett.

I had EBC ones fitted off Ebay, they soon went soft, so changed back to OEM springs.
I would buy Barnett.

Ok, I'll be the barnett ones.

What about clutch plates?? Worth replacing while I have the engine on a stand??

Depends on your budget. If you can afford to replace, then do them.
Other wise, it's an easy job to do, so leave them in until you have too.
