The HA3-XTSS pairs an ACT Xtreme pressure plate with ACT's most popular Performance Street disc, sized for the Acura CL and related Honda Accord/Prelude platform, built for the most demanding driver. The Xtreme pressure plate uses the same exclusive diaphragm design as ACT's other pressure plates but with a higher clamp load increase, along with a four-stage heat-treated diaphragm and precision-stamped cover. The Performance Street disc uses premium organic friction material with high copper content and a steel-backed lining, with reduced marcel for faster, quieter shift action.
