The FF5-XTG6 pairs an ACT Xtreme pressure plate with a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc for the Ford Focus RS and ST, built for the most demanding driver. The Xtreme pressure plate uses the same exclusive diaphragm design and four-stage heat-treated diaphragm as ACT's other pressure plates, but with a higher clamp load increase, along with a precision-stamped cover for rigidity. The spring-centered race disc damps torsional vibration and resists failure under harsh use, trading softer engagement for faster shifting and added heat capacity.

FAQ
How does an Xtreme pressure plate differ from Heavy Duty?
ACT's Xtreme pressure plates raise clamp load roughly 50 to 120 percent over stock, a larger increase than the Heavy Duty line, for higher-torque or race-focused builds.
What is a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc?
It's a race-oriented disc with spring-center construction to damp torsional vibration; it engages more aggressively than a street disc but shifts faster and handles more heat.
Does this kit fit both the Focus RS and ST?
Yes, per ACT's fitment data the FF5-XTG6 covers both the Focus RS and Focus ST for the model years listed in the vehicle applications above.
Is this kit suited to a daily driver?
The Xtreme pressure plate and race disc combination is aimed at high-performance and track use rather than daily comfort, given the firmer engagement involved.
