Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is built with meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials. The Xtreme pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which translates to longer clutch life and consistent performance. The pressure plate undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to withstand extreme temperatures and maintain structural integrity. The clutch disc uses ceramic friction material, known for its excellent heat resistance and durability, making it suitable for both street and light race use. The 4-pad sprung disc design incorporates wraparound spring windows and reinforced retainers to support the springs, reducing stress concentrations and enhancing reliability under harsh driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

The 4-pad sprung race disc provides a more aggressive engagement compared to stock clutches, resulting in quicker shifts and improved throttle response. While engagement is firmer, the spring-centered design helps dampen torsional vibrations, reducing gear rattle and noise commonly associated with performance clutches. This balance ensures a confident driving experience without excessive noise or harshness, making it well-suited for spirited street driving and occasional track use.
