If you’re looking to take your Honda Accord or Prelude to the next level, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit (HA1-HDR6) is a solid choice. This kit features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is designed with an exclusive diaphragm that ramps up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and helps extend the life of your clutch. I’ve put this setup through its paces, and I can tell you—when it comes to performance, it really delivers.

What sets this pressure plate apart is its four-stage heat-treating process. This means you get unparalleled performance that stands up to the heat of spirited driving or track days. The precision cover stampings add a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel when you’re shifting. And let's talk about the 6-pad rigid race discs—they’re made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, so you know they can handle the heat. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated too, giving you that extra strength and durability you want in a clutch system.

Now, I won’t sugarcoat it: the engagement with this 6-pad rigid race disc can be a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for quicker shifts. If you’re serious about racing or performance driving, you’ll appreciate how this setup allows for faster gear changes. Just keep in mind that it’s best suited for larger clutch sizes since it can absorb more heat, which is crucial when you're pushing your limits on the track.
