The ACT AR1-XTSS kit pairs an Xtreme pressure plate with a Performance street sprung disc for the demanding street driver. 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.
