This kit pairs ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6 pad, spring-centered race disc. The Heavy Duty pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load and reduce deflection, with all diaphragms heat-treated through a four-stage process and a precision-stamped cover for rigidity and consistency. The 6 pad spring-centered race disc uses wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to damp torsional vibration and resist failure under harsh conditions; engagement is harsher than a stock disc but shifting is faster, and the larger 6-pad design is well suited to bigger clutch sizes that need to absorb more heat.

FAQ
What's included in this clutch kit?
This kit includes an ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and a 6 pad spring-centered race disc engineered to work together; a throwout bearing and alignment tool are typically needed and sold separately.
How does the Heavy Duty pressure plate compare to ACT's other options?
The Heavy Duty pressure plate is ACT's most popular option, offering an increase in clamp load over stock while remaining streetable.
Will this kit work for daily driving?
It can be, though the 6 pad race disc has a firmer, more aggressive engagement with some gear rattle at idle, making it best suited to enthusiasts prioritizing torque capacity over daily comfort.
What's the difference between the sprung and rigid disc versions?
A sprung disc uses a spring-centered hub to damp driveline vibration for smoother engagement, while a rigid disc has no spring-centered hub and is built for lighter weight and maximum durability in dedicated race applications.
