The HS1-HDG6 kit pairs ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc. The Heavy Duty pressure plate uses ACT's exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life; every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, and cover stampings are precision-made for rigidity and consistency. The 6-pad, spring-centered race disc damps torsional vibration and resists failure under hard use, with wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings for added strength. Engagement is firmer than a street disc, but shifts are quicker, and the larger pad design helps the disc absorb more heat.
