If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, let me tell you about the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit Z65-HDR4. This kit packs a serious punch with ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is a favorite among enthusiasts for good reason. The design is all about performance—thanks to an exclusive diaphragm that boosts the clamp load and minimizes deflection. What does that mean for you? Better clutch life and more reliable shifts, which is exactly what you want when you're pushing your vehicle to the limit.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. ACT doesn’t cut corners; their pressure plates go through a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process. This means you’re getting a product that’s built to last. The precision cover stampings add to the rigidity and consistency, so you can count on it when you’re racing or just enjoying a spirited drive.
The 4-pad rigid race discs are where things get really interesting. Made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, these discs are tough and ready for action. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, which gives it the strength and durability you need for those high-stress situations. Plus, the lightweight design means quicker shifts and a smoother experience overall. Just a heads up, though—the engagement is a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for faster shifting. If you’ve got a smaller engine, this setup is perfect since it’s designed to work well with smaller disc sizes.
Installation is straightforward, and if you need a hand, you can find the install instructions here.
