ACT's LE1-HDSS kit pairs the brand's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with its most popular Performance Street disc for the Lotus Elise and Exige. The Heavy Duty pressure plate uses ACT's diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life, with every diaphragm spring put through a four-stage heat-treating process for consistent performance. Precision cover stampings keep the plate rigid and consistent under load. The matched Performance Street disc uses premium organic friction material with high copper content for improved heat transfer, plus a steel-backed lining for greater burst strength and durability. Reduced marcel in the disc delivers faster shift action alongside the Heavy Duty pressure plate.
