The ACT FF5-XTSS kit features an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver, paired with ACT's most popular street disc for the Ford Focus RS and ST. ACT Xtreme 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 that complements the Xtreme pressure plate for quiet operation with increased strength and reliability.

FAQ
How does the XTSS kit differ from the HDSS kit for the same vehicle?
The XTSS kit uses ACT's Xtreme pressure plate, which increases clamp load further than the Heavy Duty plate used in the HDSS kit, for drivers who want more holding capacity while keeping the same street-friendly sprung organic disc.
Is this kit suited for daily street driving?
Yes, ACT rates the FF5-XTSS for street and race use, and the sprung disc with reduced marcel is designed to complement the Xtreme pressure plate for quiet, smooth operation.
Does this kit fit both the Focus RS and Focus ST?
Yes, it covers the 2016-2018 Focus RS and 2013-2018 Focus ST, which share the same clutch platform. See the full Vehicle Applications list above to confirm the exact year and trim.
Does this kit include a flywheel?
No, the FF5-XTSS kit includes the pressure plate and disc only; it uses the factory flywheel unless a separate ACT flywheel is purchased.
