• Wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings for increased spring support and reliability
• Spring-centered disc construction that resists failure under harsh conditions
• Use of select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance
• 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability
• Moderate to heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement for faster shifting
• Recommended for high horsepower street or race use

Construction & Design:

The ACT Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered with durability and performance in mind. The Xtreme pressure plate features a unique diaphragm design that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process, ensuring exceptional clamp load and minimal deflection. This results in a longer-lasting clutch that can handle increased power and aggressive driving styles.

The 4-pad spring-centered race disc incorporates wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings, providing enhanced spring support and reducing stress concentrations. This robust construction helps prevent premature failure and maintains consistent clutch engagement even under extreme conditions. The ceramic friction materials used in the disc offer excellent heat resistance, allowing the clutch to perform reliably during high-temperature operation.

Performance & Sound

The engagement of the 4-pad spring-centered race disc is notably harsher compared to stock, delivering quicker, more precise shifts favored in racing scenarios. While the pedal effort is moderate to heavy, this setup provides a direct connection to the drivetrain, enhancing driver feedback and control. The clutch produces OE to mild gear rattle, which is typical for performance-oriented clutches and indicates a robust mechanical design without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch kit is a direct fit for the Scion tC models from 2006 through 2010 and the Scion xB (xB2) models from 2008 through 2015. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and is best performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper alignment and engagement. No major modifications are necessary, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicle’s performance and reliability.

What's Included:

• Xtreme pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design
• 4-pad spring-centered race disc with ceramic friction material
• Spring retainers with wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings
• Installation hardware as required

Ideal For:

This clutch kit is ideal for high horsepower street drivers and racers who demand a durable, high-performance clutch capable of handling aggressive driving and track conditions. It suits enthusiasts upgrading their Scion tC or xB for improved shift response, clutch life, and overall drivetrain reliability without sacrificing daily drivability.
