The 4-pad sprung race disc design provides improved torsional vibration damping, reducing noise and increasing durability for spirited driving and track use.

Key Features:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit incorporates advanced engineering and premium materials to ensure superior performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Xtreme pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design for increased clamp load and reduced deflection
• Four-stage heat-treated diaphragms for exceptional strength and heat tolerance
• Precision cover stampings that enhance rigidity and consistency
• 4-pad spring-centered race disc with spring-center construction to damp torsional vibrations and reduce noise
• Wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings for enhanced spring support and reliability
• Use of select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance
• Moderate to heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement for faster shifting
• 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM operation
• Designed for smaller disc sizes and engines, making it ideal for the FR-S, BRZ, and 86 platforms

Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is built with meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials. The pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process, enhancing its durability and clamp force. This design minimizes deflection under load, ensuring consistent clutch engagement and longer service life.

The 4-pad sprung race disc is engineered with a spring-centered construction that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, resulting in quieter operation and reduced stress on drivetrain components. The wraparound spring windows and reinforced retainer stampings provide additional strength and prevent premature spring failure, even in harsh driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

This clutch kit offers a more aggressive engagement compared to stock, delivering quicker shifts and improved throttle response. While the engagement is harsher, it remains manageable for street use and is well-suited for high horsepower setups. The spring-centered disc design helps reduce gear rattle commonly associated with race-style clutches, providing a balance between performance and drivability.

Installation & Fitment:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is a direct fit replacement for the Scion FR-S (2013–2016), Subaru BRZ (2013–2020), and Toyota 86 (2017–2020). Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and no major modifications. It is recommended to have the installation performed by a professional or an experienced technician to ensure proper clutch alignment and optimal performance.

What's Included:
