If you're looking to give your Toyota Corolla a serious upgrade, the ACT Heavy Duty/Performance Street Sprung Kit TL1-HDSS is the way to go. I've had my fair share of clutches, but this one really stands out. It combines ACT's most popular heavy-duty pressure plate with their top-performing street disc, and trust me, you can feel the difference right from the get-go.
The heavy-duty pressure plate uses a unique diaphragm design that not only boosts clamp load but also minimizes deflection. This means you get a more reliable clutch that lasts longer. ACT puts their diaphragms through a rigorous four-stage heat treatment, which really pays off in performance. Plus, the precision cover stampings on these pressure plates ensure they stay rigid and consistent, even when you?re pushing the limits.
Now, let?s talk about the performance street disc. It?s made from premium organic materials that have a high copper content. This isn?t just for show; it helps with heat transfer and durability. The steel-backed lining adds an extra layer of strength, so you won?t have to worry about it bursting under pressure. And with reduced marcel, shifting feels quicker and more responsive, which is something every driver can appreciate.
This kit is designed for both street and occasional race use, so whether you're commuting or hitting the track, it?s got your back. The pedal effort is light to moderate, and you?ll notice a smooth engagement with just the right amount of gear rattle?nothing too crazy, but just enough to remind you that you're in a performance vehicle.
