If you're looking to up your game with your Honda Civic, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit (HC7-HDR4) is where it's at. This isn't just any clutch kit—it's built for those who want a serious upgrade. The pressure plate is ACT's heavy-duty model, which means it’s designed to handle some serious power. The unique diaphragm design ramps up the clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum, so you get a longer-lasting clutch that can take the heat.
Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. They’re made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means they can handle the heat and keep performing when you really push your Civic. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, so it’s tough enough to take on any challenge you throw at it. The lightweight design means quicker shifts—perfect for those spirited drives or track days. Just keep in mind, the engagement is a bit harsher, so it's not for the faint of heart. But if you're after those fast shifts, this is what you want.
This kit is engineered for performance, which means it’s not just about slapping on a new part. It’s been carefully assembled and balanced to ensure smooth operation at high RPMs. You’ll feel the difference when you're tearing up the streets or the track.
