ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit Chrysler | Dodge | Eagle | Mitsubishi 1995-2014
$670.00
Free Shipping

If you're looking to take your ride to the next level, the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit DN5-HDR4 is where it's at. This kit features ACT's go-to Heavy Duty pressure plate, and let me tell you, it’s built to last. The exclusive diaphragm design ramps up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch live a long, happy life. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, which really makes a difference when it comes to performance under pressure.

The pressure plates are crafted with precision cover stampings, ensuring you get that rigidity and consistency you want when you're pushing your car to its limits. Now, about the 4-pad rigid race discs—they're made from high-quality ceramic friction materials. The chrome-moly hub? It’s heat-treated, so you know it’s tough enough to handle whatever you throw at it. Plus, the lightweight design means quicker shifts and smoother operation, which is exactly what you want when you're racing or just enjoying a spirited drive.

Now, I won't sugarcoat it—the engagement is definitely on the harsher side with this setup, but that's what allows for those lightning-fast shifts. If you're running a smaller engine, this 4-pad disc is a perfect match for those compact setups.
