If you're looking to take your Honda Civic from daily driver to track-ready, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit HC9-HDR6 is worth your attention. This isn’t just another clutch kit; it’s built for those who want to push their car to the limits. The Heavy Duty pressure plate is a standout feature here, designed with a unique diaphragm that ramps up the clamp load while reducing deflection. What does that mean for you? More grip and a longer-lasting clutch, even under serious stress.
Every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring it can handle the heat of spirited driving or racing. The precision cover stampings on the pressure plate add rigidity and consistency, which is crucial when you're shifting hard. Speaking of shifting, the 6-pad rigid race discs are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials. They’re tough, heat-treated, and designed to handle the heat without breaking a sweat. Just be aware that engagement is on the harsher side, but that’s what allows for faster shifts—perfect for those who live for the track.
Now, let’s talk numbers. This kit is designed for an 8.4-inch clutch disc diameter (214 mm) and has an impressive torque capacity of 305 ft/lbs. That’s a significant upgrade over stock, giving you the confidence to really push your Civic. Just keep in mind that while the pedal effort is light to moderate, you might notice a bit more gear rattle with this setup—it's just part of the game when you’re going for performance.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:
Before you dive into the install, just a heads up: this kit doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder, flywheel, or alignment tool. But it does include grease and a release bearing, so you’re not completely left in the lurch. And if you want to get into the nitty-gritty of installation, check out the instructions here.
In short, if you’re serious about performance and ready to upgrade your Civic, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is a solid choice that’ll give you the responsiveness and durability you need on the track.
