Alright, let’s dive into the ACT NX2-HDSS Heavy Duty/Performance Street Sprung Kit. If you're looking to give your ride a serious upgrade, this is it. This kit is built around ACT's go-to heavy-duty pressure plate, which is all about getting that extra clamp load without compromising on feel. You know how it is—nobody wants a clutch that feels like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Thanks to ACT’s smart diaphragm design, you get a nice balance of pedal effort and engagement. It’s light enough for daily driving but still tough enough to handle some spirited runs on the weekend.
What really stands out here is the heat treatment process they use on the diaphragms. It’s a four-stage deal that boosts durability and performance. You won’t have to worry about it giving up on you after a few hard shifts. Plus, the precision stamping ensures that the pressure plate remains rigid and consistent, which is key for reliable performance.
Now, let’s talk about the performance street disc. It’s made from premium organic materials loaded with copper, which helps with heat transfer. This means you can push your car a bit harder without worrying about fade. The steel-backed lining adds to its durability, so you won’t be replacing this thing anytime soon. With reduced marcel, you’ll notice quicker shifts, making it a perfect match for the heavy-duty pressure plate.
Here’s the nitty-gritty on what you’re getting:
