- 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation at high RPM
- Light to moderate pedal effort suitable for aggressive street and mild race use
Construction & Design:
The ACT HD/Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The heavy-duty pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which extends clutch life and improves pedal feel. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to enhance durability under extreme heat and stress.
The 4-pad spring-centered race disc is crafted with ceramic friction materials selected for their ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain consistent performance. The wraparound spring windows and reinforced retainer stampings provide superior spring support, reducing stress concentrations and preventing premature failure. This robust construction ensures the clutch kit performs reliably even in demanding driving scenarios.
Performance & Sound
The 4-pad spring-centered race disc design offers a more aggressive engagement compared to stock clutches, delivering quicker shifts and improved throttle response. While engagement is firmer, pedal effort remains manageable for street use. This clutch kit also helps reduce gear rattle commonly experienced with lighter race discs, providing a balance between performance and noise control. Drivers will appreciate the enhanced connection to the drivetrain and the confidence it brings during spirited driving.
