ACT HD/Perf Street Sprung Kit Volkswagen GTI MK7 | GTI MK8 | Golf R 2015-2024 - VW9-HDSS

ACT VW9-HDSS Heavy Duty Clutch Kit

If you're looking to enhance the performance of your Volkswagen Golf R (2015-2019 & 2022-2024) or Volkswagen GTI MK7 (2015-2019) and MK8 (2020-2024), the ACT VW9-HDSS Heavy Duty Clutch Kit is a game changer. This kit combines ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with a high-performance street disc, designed specifically for enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance on both the street and track.

Performance Features

The ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate uses an innovative diaphragm design that increases clamp load while reducing deflection, allowing for a longer clutch life. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring top-notch performance under pressure. Precision cover stampings guarantee rigidity and consistency, making this clutch a dependable choice for your VW.

Complementing the pressure plate is the Performance Street disc, crafted from premium organic materials with high copper content for superior heat transfer. The steel-backed lining provides exceptional burst strength and durability, while the reduced marcel allows for quicker shifts, making your driving experience smoother and more responsive.
