ACT HD/Perf Street Rigid Kit BMW M3 2001-2006 - BM9-HDSD

If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the ACT Heavy Duty/Performance Street Rigid Kit (BM9-HDSD) is a solid choice. This kit features ACT's most popular heavy-duty pressure plate, which is designed with a unique diaphragm that boosts clamp load. What does that mean for you? Less deflection and longer clutch life, which is a win-win in my book. The pressure plates go through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know they’re built to handle the heat, literally. Plus, the precision cover stampings add a level of rigidity and consistency you'd expect from a top-tier product.

The clutch disc is where the magic happens. With a diameter of 9.4 inches (or 240 mm for you metric folks), it’s made from premium organic materials that have a high copper content. This helps with heat transfer, and the steel-backed lining ensures you won't be replacing it anytime soon. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for extra strength, and the rivet design is carefully thought out to maximize durability. The best part? This setup is the lightest street disc you can get, which means quicker shifts and a more engaging driving experience. It’s got that race-proven performance but is still manageable for everyday use.

Install Instructions:

Features:

  • Light to moderate pedal effort with smooth engagement—just what you want in a performance clutch.
  • Longer friction life thanks to ACT's exclusive diaphragm design, although keep in mind that the rigid build might cause a bit more spline wear.
