If you’re looking to take your ride to the next level, the Advanced Clutch HD-M/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit ME3-HDR4 is a solid choice. I’ve been around the block with a few clutches, and I can tell you, this one’s got some serious bite. It’s got ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is their go-to for a reason. The unique diaphragm design ramps up the clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum—this means your clutch isn’t just going to wear out after a few hard runs. Plus, every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it’s built to take a beating.The pressure plate is precision-stamped for rigidity and consistency, which really helps when you’re pushing your car to its limits. Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, and they come with a chrome-moly hub that’s heat-treated for extra strength. What does that mean for you? Faster shifts and smoother engagement. Sure, it’s a bit harsher when you engage, but if you’re racing, you’ll appreciate how quickly you can swap gears.One thing I really like is the Monoloc feature. It’s a direct replacement for the standard two-piece wedge collar and wire ring you find in pull-type clutches. The spring tension on the segmented retaining ring is spot on, ensuring optimal performance and alignment, no matter how you drive or what mods you’ve made. The hardened chrome-moly steel construction means this thing is going to last you a long time.Now, before you dive in, keep in mind that this kit is recommended for race use only. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re serious about performance, you’ll appreciate the light to moderate pedal effort and the confidence it gives you during those hard shifts. Just be ready for some increased gear rattle—it’s part of the game.Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: you’re looking at a clutch disc diameter of 9.4 inches (240 mm), with a torque capacity of 678 ft/lbs, which is a solid bump over stock. It’s a performance-grade setup, and while it doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder or flywheel, it does include the necessary grease and an alignment tool. Weighing in at 15.1 lbs, this kit is designed for those who want to maximize their vehicle’s potential.If you’re ready to take the plunge, you can find installation instructions here. Trust me, once you’ve got this kit in your Mitsubishi Evolution X (2008-2015) or Lancer (2008-2017), you’ll feel the difference right away.
