Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered using premium materials and manufacturing processes. The pressure plate’s diaphragm spring undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to maximize strength and longevity while maintaining consistent clamp load. The cover assembly features precision stampings that add rigidity and reduce deflection, ensuring reliable clutch engagement even under extreme conditions.

The 6-pad sprung race disc incorporates a spring-centered design that effectively absorbs torsional vibrations, reducing the risk of premature failure. Wraparound spring windows and reinforced retainers provide enhanced spring support, improving durability during aggressive driving. The friction material is a carefully selected ceramic compound that withstands high temperatures and delivers consistent performance across a wide range of driving scenarios.

Performance & Sound

This clutch kit is designed to provide an aggressive engagement with moderate to heavy pedal effort, making it well-suited for drivers seeking quick, precise shifts and improved throttle response. The 6-pad sprung disc helps minimize torsional vibrations, resulting in smoother power delivery and reduced drivetrain shock. While the engagement is firmer than stock, it remains manageable for street use and offers a noticeable improvement in performance for track or high horsepower applications. Expect mild gear rattle typical of performance clutches in this category.

Installation & Fitment:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 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 may be best performed by a professional or experienced enthusiast. No modifications to the transmission or flywheel are typically necessary, ensuring a straightforward upgrade path. Proper break-in and adjustment are recommended to maximize clutch life and performance.
