The ACT VW9-XTSS kit pairs an Xtreme pressure plate for demanding drivers 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 uses 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.
