The ACT VW9-HDSS Heavy Duty Performance Street Sprung Clutch Kit pairs ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with its most popular street disc for the MK7/MK7.5 Volkswagen GTI and Golf R. This kit must be used with the included ACT XACT Streetlite flywheel. ACT's exclusive diaphragm design increases clamp load and reduces deflection, and the Performance Street disc uses premium organic material with high copper content for better heat transfer and a steel-backed lining for greater burst strength. The kit is 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high-RPM reliability.
