If you're looking to up your game with your Honda S2000, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit HS1-HDR4 is definitely worth considering. This kit features ACT's go-to Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is known for its solid performance. The unique diaphragm design really cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection in check, which means your clutch is going to last longer and work harder. Plus, every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it's built to handle some serious heat.
What I really appreciate about ACT pressure plates is the precision cover stampings. They give the plate a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel when you're driving. Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, making it tough enough to take whatever you throw at it. The lightweight design means quicker shifts, which is a game changer on the track or even just in spirited driving.
Sure, the engagement is a bit harsher with the 4-pad setup, but if you’re after speed, that’s a trade-off you’ll appreciate. This kit is particularly suited for smaller engine setups, so if you've got a smaller disc size, you’re in luck.
Installation is straightforward:

Just a heads up: This kit doesn’t come with bearings, so you'll need to grab those separately.
Overall, if you're serious about performance and want to make the most of your S2000, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit is a solid choice. It’s built for the track but offers that daily driving reliability you need.
