Haus Of Dub took on the task of building an upgraded single mass flywheel clutch kit that lets you restore the smooth clutch operation and performance you expect from your manual transmission. The 5GTX is capable of holding up to 400 ft/lbs of torque thanks to its organic clutch disc and forged 4140 precision machined single mass flywheel.

That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with poly bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock bushings. Take Control.
