The L15B7 responds so well to a tune and bolt-ons that the factory clutch quickly becomes the weak link, and slipping in fourth gear on a pull is usually the first symptom. This kit replaces the whole friction system in one shot: clutch assembly, disc, flywheel, release bearing, and alignment tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 2 uses Competition Clutch's steelback Brass Plus organic disc, a full-face friction material bonded to an alloy backing, matched to a performance pressure plate. Per manufacturer ratings it holds up to 425 wheel torque, which covers essentially any bolt-on or big-turbo-lite 1.5T street build. The disc diameter grows from the factory 230mm to 240mm, the same size Honda used on the FK8 Civic Type R, so the extra capacity comes from real surface area and clamp load rather than a grabby race compound. That is why this kit stays streetable: engagement is smooth once broken in, with a pedal that is noticeably firmer than stock but nothing your left leg cannot live with in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STU suffix on this kit means the ultra lightweight 17 lb billet steel flywheel, the lighter of the two flywheel options Competition Clutch offers for this platform (the ST kit runs a 22 lb wheel). The lighter wheel lets the L15B7 rev and recover faster between shifts, which suits track use and forced induction builds pushing past stock boost. The trade-off is slightly busier low-rpm behavior and a bit more care needed on hill starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e8091-STU-2100\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eStage 2, street series\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e240mm steelback Brass Plus organic, full face\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorque capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eUp to 425 wheel torque, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eUltra lightweight billet steel, about 17 lb, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eClutch assembly, disc, flywheel, release bearing, alignment tool, hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreak-in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eAbout 500 street miles, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e6-speed manual, 1.5T models only\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e2016-2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e1.5T manual trims (EX-T, Sport, Touring 6MT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eL15B7 1.5L turbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e2017-2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eSi\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eL15B7 1.5L turbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual transmission 1.5L turbo cars only.

Owners consistently see a lower, sharper engagement point than stock and some first-gear and reverse chatter early on, and both settle dramatically after the break-in window. Competition Clutch calls for roughly 500 easy street miles before hard pulls, and on this kit that patience genuinely pays off. The lighter flywheel can also add faint gear rattle at idle, which is normal for a lightened single-mass setup, not a defect. If your Civic is a pure commuter on stock power, this kit is more clutch than you need and the firmer pedal will get old in stop-and-go traffic; a stock replacement or the 22 lb ST version is the calmer choice. For a tuned 1.5T or Si that sees spirited driving or track days, this is the setup we would run, and we would replace the clutch hydraulic fluid at the same time while the car is on the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e2016-2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e1.5T manual trims (EX-T, Sport, Touring 6MT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eL15B7 1.5L turbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e2017-2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eSi\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eL15B7 1.5L turbo\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual transmission 1.5L turbo cars only.
