ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit

2013–2016 Scion FR-S / 2013–2020 Subaru BRZ / 2017–2020 Toyota 86

SB7-XTR6

Overview:

The ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising performance and durability from their clutch system. Designed specifically for the Scion FR-S (2013–2016), Subaru BRZ (2013–2020), and Toyota 86 (2017–2020), this clutch kit delivers aggressive engagement and enhanced heat tolerance, making it ideal for spirited street driving and competitive racing environments. Featuring ACT’s exclusive Xtreme pressure plate and a rigid 6-pad race disc, this kit offers a precise, reliable connection between the engine and transmission for quicker shifts and improved throttle response.

Whether you’re upgrading for track days or high-performance street use, the XT/Race kit provides the clamp load and durability needed to handle increased power and aggressive driving styles without sacrificing clutch life.

Key Features:

Built to meet the demands of serious enthusiasts, the ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit incorporates advanced technology and materials for superior performance:

• Exclusive Xtreme diaphragm pressure plate design increases clamp load and reduces deflection for maximum clutch life
• Four-stage heat-treated diaphragms ensure consistent, reliable performance under extreme conditions
• Precision cover stampings provide enhanced rigidity and consistent clamp force
• 6-pad rigid race disc constructed with high-quality ceramic friction materials for excellent heat tolerance
• Heat-treated chrome-moly hub offers superior strength and durability
• Lightweight, rigid disc design enables quicker shifts and smooth engagement
• Recommended for larger clutch sizes to better absorb heat during aggressive driving
• 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation at high RPM
• Backed by ACT’s industry-leading one-year warranty

Construction & Design:

The XT/Race kit features ACT’s signature Xtreme pressure plate, which utilizes a unique diaphragm spring design to deliver increased clamp load while minimizing deflection. This design enhances clutch life and engagement consistency, even under demanding conditions. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to maintain strength and performance at elevated temperatures.

The 6-pad rigid race disc is crafted from premium ceramic friction materials that provide high heat resistance and consistent bite. Its chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to withstand the stresses of aggressive driving and racing. The rigid disc design, while resulting in a harsher engagement, allows for faster shifts and improved drivetrain response, making it an excellent choice for performance applications.

Performance & Sound

This clutch kit delivers a moderate to heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement, ideal for drivers seeking a direct and responsive feel. The rigid 6-pad disc design may increase gear rattle, a common characteristic in race-oriented clutches, but it ensures rapid power transfer and reduced slippage under high load. While friction life is moderate, ACT’s advanced diaphragm design helps extend service intervals compared to typical race clutches.

Installation & Fitment:

The ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad 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 should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with performance drivetrains. No major modifications are necessary, but proper break-in and adjustment are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included:

• Xtreme diaphragm pressure plate
• 6-pad rigid race ceramic friction disc with chrome-moly hub
