The ACT ZM2-HDG6 Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit pairs ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6-pad spring-centered race disc. The Heavy Duty pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load and reduce deflection, with every diaphragm undergoing ACT's four-stage heat-treating process and precision cover stampings for rigidity and consistency. The 6-pad spring-centered race disc dampens torsional vibrations and resists failure under harsh conditions; wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings on the spring retainers add support, reduce stress concentrations, and increase strength. Engagement is harsher and shifting is faster than a street disc, and the 6-pad configuration is recommended for larger clutch sizes that need to absorb more heat.

FAQ
Why does the confirmed fitment list skip the 1998 model year?
ACT's own published fitment data does not include a 1998 model year for this kit; the Vehicle Applications list above reflects ACT's confirmed years exactly as published, without any years added or assumed.
Is the 6-pad disc harsher than the 4-pad version?
Both are race-sprung discs with harsher engagement than a street disc, but the 6-pad configuration is intended for larger clutch sizes that need to absorb more heat, while the 4-pad disc suits smaller clutch diameters.
Does the kit include a pilot bearing and release bearing?
Pilot bearing and release bearing are included on applications where the vehicle requires them.
Does this kit fit the 1999 10th Anniversary Miata?
Yes, the ZM2-HDG6 covers the 1999 10th Anniversary Edition along with Base, LE, LS, M Edition, Mazdaspeed, SE, Shinsen, and STO trims across the confirmed 1990-2005 fitment range.
