ACT PO2-HDR6 Heavy Duty/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit

If you're looking for a clutch upgrade that can handle the demands of spirited driving or track days, the ACT PO2-HDR6 Heavy Duty/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is a game changer for your Porsche 996 C2/C4 (2002-2004). This kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, designed to deliver superior clamp load while minimizing deflection for an extended clutch life. With a four-stage heat-treating process, these pressure plates are built to perform under pressure.

Why Choose the PO2-HDR6?

The 6-pad rigid race disc is crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, ensuring it can handle high temperatures without losing performance. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for added strength and durability, making this clutch kit perfect for those who push their vehicles to the limit. The lightweight design facilitates quicker shifts, while the aggressive engagement may increase gear rattle—a trade-off for faster, more precise shifting.
