The ACT VW9-XTSS kit pairs an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver with ACT's most popular street disc. Xtreme pressure plates use ACT's exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life, with every diaphragm heat-treated through a four-stage process and a precision-stamped cover for rigidity and consistency. The Performance Street disc is ACT's most popular disc purchased, using premium organic friction material with high copper content for better heat transfer, plus a steel-backed lining for greater burst strength and durability. Reduced marcel gives faster shift action for quiet operation with increased strength and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ACT VW9-XTSS kit include?
The kit includes an ACT Xtreme pressure plate, a Performance Street organic disc, and the required ACT Streetlite flywheel for the MQB-platform GTI (and Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition).
How does this kit differ from the VW9-HDSS?
The XTSS kit uses an Xtreme pressure plate with higher clamp load and torque capacity than the Heavy Duty pressure plate used in the HDSS kit, with a firmer pedal feel.
Is this kit suitable for daily driving?
Yes, though pedal effort is moderate to heavy compared to a Heavy Duty kit; the Performance Street disc still delivers smooth engagement with OE to mild gear rattle.
Does California Proposition 65 apply to this product?
Yes. This product can expose users to chemicals including carbon black, glass wool fibers, silica, chromium, and nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
