If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the ACT Heavy Duty/Performance Street Sprung Kit SB5-HDSS is something you should definitely check out. This kit combines ACT's well-known Heavy Duty pressure plate with their popular street disc. What makes it stand out? Well, the pressure plate uses a unique diaphragm design that cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum. This means you get a longer-lasting clutch that can handle the heat. Each diaphragm goes through a thorough four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring it can take on whatever you throw at it.
The pressure plate is built tough, too. With precision cover stampings, it offers the rigidity you need for consistent performance. Now, let’s talk about the Performance Street disc. It’s made from premium organic materials with a high copper content, which means better heat transfer and a steel-backed lining that boosts durability. Plus, the reduced marcel in the disc allows for quicker shifts—perfect for those spirited drives or track days.
