Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered with durability and performance in mind. The pressure plate features an exclusive diaphragm design that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process, ensuring exceptional clamp load and resistance to fatigue. This design minimizes deflection, which extends clutch life and maintains consistent engagement characteristics.

The clutch disc itself utilizes a rigid 6-pad layout with premium ceramic friction materials that excel in high-heat environments, making it suitable for aggressive driving and racing conditions. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to enhance strength and durability, resisting wear and maintaining spline integrity under heavy loads. The overall lightweight and rigid construction contributes to faster, more precise shifts and reliable service life.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for the Scion FR-S (2013–2016), Subaru BRZ (2013–2020), and Toyota 86 (2017–2020) models. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and may necessitate professional installation for optimal results. No major modifications are typically needed, but due to the aggressive nature of the clutch, proper break-in and adjustment are recommended to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
