This kit pairs ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate with its most popular Performance Street 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 Performance Street disc uses premium organic friction material with high copper content for improved heat transfer, a steel-backed lining for burst strength, and reduced marcel for a faster, quieter shift feel with increased strength and reliability.

FAQ
What's included in this clutch kit?
This kit includes an ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and a Performance Street 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?
Yes — the Performance Street disc is designed for a quieter, more street-friendly engagement while still offering added torque capacity over a stock clutch.
What's the difference between the Performance Street disc and a race disc?
The Performance Street disc uses organic friction material with reduced marcel for quiet, streetable engagement, while ACT's race discs use ceramic pucks and a stiffer hub for maximum torque holding at the expense of drivability.
