If you're serious about performance, the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit DC2-HDR6 is a game changer. This kit's got ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is a fan favorite for a reason. The unique diaphragm design cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum, which means you’ll get more out of your clutch over time. They really put in the work with a four-stage heat-treating process on the diaphragms, so you know you're getting something built to last.

Now, let’s talk about the 6-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, and they come with a chrome-moly hub that’s heat-treated for extra strength. What does that mean for you? Well, the lightweight and rigid design allows for quicker shifts. Sure, the engagement might feel a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for faster gear changes—perfect for those who love to push their limits on the track.

The kit is designed with a few key specs that make it stand out. You’re looking at a clutch disc diameter of 9.4 inches (240 mm) and a torque capacity of 525 ft/lbs. That’s some serious power you can rely on. It's recommended for larger clutch sizes, which helps it handle more heat, so if you’re racing, this is definitely worth considering. Just keep in mind that the engagement can be a bit aggressive, which can lead to increased gear rattle. But if you’re in it for the performance, that’s a small price to pay.

Installation is straightforward, but you’ll want to check out the install instructions here. A few highlights you should know:

  • Light to moderate pedal effort, which is a nice balance for aggressive engagement.
  • Moderate friction life, but the exclusive diaphragm design helps extend it.
  • Everything is 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced for reliable high RPM performance.
  • This kit is strictly for race use, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking about daily driving it.

As for what’s included, you get the heavy-duty pressure plate, an alignment tool, and pressure plate bolts—everything you need to get started. Just remember, you’ll need to use an ACT single-mass flywheel, which is included in the kit. The product weighs in at 27.3 lbs, and it’s a conversion kit, so no pilot bushing or slave cylinder is included.

In terms of fitment, this kit works for:

  • Dodge Caliber (2008-2009)
  • Dodge Caliber SRT-4 (2008-2009)

Overall, if you’re looking to upgrade your clutch setup for serious performance, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is definitely worth a look. It’s built tough and designed for those who demand more from their ride.
