The ACT FF5-HDSS kit features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate paired with its most popular street disc for the Ford Focus RS and ST. ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and maximize clutch life, with every diaphragm undergoing ACT's four-stage heat-treating process. Precision cover stampings add rigidity and consistency. The included Performance street disc uses premium organic friction material with high copper content for better heat transfer and steel-backed lining for greater burst strength and durability, with reduced marcel for faster shift action and increased strength and reliability.
