Alright, let’s talk about the ACT HD-M/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit (ME2-HDR6). If you’re serious about your clutch setup, this is the one you want. It features ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is pretty much their bread and butter. They’ve got this exclusive diaphragm design that cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. Seriously, they’ve heat-treated these diaphragms through a four-stage process, so you know it’s built to take a beating.

Now, the pressure plate itself is no joke. The precision cover stampings give it that extra rigidity and consistency, which makes a world of difference when you’re pushing it on the track. The 6-pad rigid race discs are crafted with top-notch ceramic friction materials, meaning they can handle the heat without giving up on you. Plus, the chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for durability, so you won’t have to swap it out after a few races.

What’s cool about this setup is the lightweight design. It makes shifting quicker and smoother, although fair warning: the engagement is a bit harsher, but that just means you’ll be shifting faster. If you’re running a larger clutch size, this kit is perfect because it absorbs more heat, which is crucial during those long sessions on the track.

Also, the Monoloc is a solid upgrade from the standard two-piece wedge collar you find in pull-type clutches. It’s designed to keep everything aligned, no matter how hard you’re driving or what mods you’ve done. The spring tension is spot on, ensuring uniform loading on the bearing and pressure plate. And let’s not forget, the Monoloc is made from hardened chrome-moly steel, so it’s built to last.
