Can the Clutch Disc for DC5 be used with the factory clutch cover?

No. Spoon states that the factory cover cannot be used with the Clutch Disc for DC5 and names its own clutch cover, part 22300-DC5-001, as the partner. The US distributor describes the disc as working with the factory cover, but BA follows the Spoon Japan instruction and recommends buying the disc and cover together.

Which facing should I choose, metal or non-asbestos?

Choose the metal disc for a car that sees regular circuit sessions, since the metal facing is the version described as resisting fade under racing heat. Choose the non-asbestos disc for a road car, where smooth and quiet engagement in traffic matters more than heat tolerance. Both versions share the same updated core and fixing design.

Will the disc handle more torque than the stock clutch?

Yes. The US distributor lists increased torque capacity over the factory disc for both versions, and the matching Spoon cover raises clamp load by 30 percent, so the pair suits a modified K20A. Spoon does not publish a torque rating for the disc, so BA does not quote one.

Is installation a job for a specialist?

Yes, for most owners. Fitting the disc means removing the transmission, which is normally done by a shop with a lift, a transmission jack and the tools to align the disc. With the gearbox out, inspecting the flywheel and fitting a new release bearing is sensible.

How does the metal disc behave on the street?

It can be driven on the road, but it is the less forgiving of the two. Metal facings are chosen for heat tolerance rather than refinement, so take-up is typically sharper and less progressive than with the non-asbestos version. A daily commuter with occasional track days is usually happier on non-asbestos.

Description

Spoon Sports Clutch Disc for DC5 Honda Integra Type R, EP3 / FD2 / FN2 Civic Type R and CL7 Accord Euro R

The Spoon Sports Clutch Disc for DC5 Integra Type R and its K20A relatives is one half of a matched clutch, designed to run against the Spoon clutch cover rather than the factory one. Spoon moved the friction material, the core material and the method of fixing the facing to its latest specification, then offers the disc in two characters: a metal facing for circuit work and a non-asbestos facing for road driving. A car that runs back-to-back track sessions benefits from the metal disc holding its bite as heat builds; one that lives in traffic is better served by the softer non-asbestos version. A gently driven stock car does not need it.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
