If you're looking to take your clutch game to the next level, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit PO3-HDR4 is where it’s at. This kit packs a punch with ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is a favorite among those who really push their cars. What sets this pressure plate apart is its unique diaphragm design. It cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. Plus, every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it’s built to handle some serious heat.

The precision cover stampings on the pressure plate give it that extra bit of rigidity and consistency, which is crucial when you’re racing or just hitting the backroads hard. Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means they can take a beating without fading. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, adding strength and durability to the mix. The lightweight design means quicker shifts and a smoother overall experience. Just a heads up, the engagement can be a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for faster shifting—totally worth it if you ask me.

This kit is particularly great for smaller engines, where the smaller disc sizes really shine. If you’re running a Porsche 996 C2/C4 (1999-2001), you’re in luck—this kit fits perfectly and can handle up to 670 ft/lbs of torque. Just keep in mind, this setup is recommended for race use only, so if you’re daily driving, you might want to think twice.
