If you're a proud owner of an Audi A4 (1997-2005), Audi A4 Quattro (1997-2005), or Volkswagen Passat (1998-2005), the ACT AA1-HDR6 Heavy Duty/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is the performance upgrade you’ve been looking for. This kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, designed specifically for those who demand precision and reliability on the track or the street.
The AA1-HDR6 isn't just another clutch kit; it’s engineered with an exclusive diaphragm design that boosts clamp load while minimizing deflection. This means you get a clutch that not only lasts longer but also engages with the kind of precision you can feel. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring top-notch performance under pressure.
When it comes to installation, you’ll want to pair the AA1-HDR6 with the SACHS dual-mass flywheel #DMF91115 for optimal performance. For detailed installation instructions, CLICK HERE.
