Aluminum Button Color KitvsClutch Spring

The Bottom Line

Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the VRS Clutch Spring comes down to whether you want to customize your wheel's aesthetics or fine-tune your pedal feel. One is a premium cosmetic upgrade for your steering wheel, while the other is a cheap, functional hardware tweak for your pedal set.

Note

The VRS Clutch Spring has transitioned from purple to mint green, though performance remains identical. Meanwhile, the Asetek Button Kit does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries to complete the look.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

6
Utility Rating
  • It significantly improves tactile feel, grip, and build quality over standard plastic caps.
  • It allows you to customize and "de-orange" your Asetek steering wheel for a premium look.

Why choose Clutch Spring

8
Utility Rating
  • It provides a highly defined dual-stage feel, though some find it kicky and hard to control without a damper.
  • It can be swapped onto the throttle pedal to increase resistance and improve modulation.

The Verdict

If you want to upgrade your wheel's physical touchpoints and aesthetics, the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers a premium feel despite its high $89.00 price tag. However, for pure performance value, the $17.90 VRS Clutch Spring is a highly durable, functional tweak that directly impacts your inputs.
