If you're looking to take your ride to the next level, the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit SB5-HDR6 is where it’s at. This isn’t just another clutch; it’s ACT’s heavy-duty pressure plate that’s been a favorite among gearheads for a reason. The design of this pressure plate is something else. They’ve got this exclusive diaphragm setup that cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection in check. What does that mean for you? More clutch life and better performance, plain and simple. Each diaphragm goes through a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it’s built to last and perform under pressure.

The 6-pad rigid race discs are made from top-notch ceramic friction materials, which means they can handle the heat without breaking a sweat. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated too, giving it the strength to endure whatever you throw at it. And let’s talk about the weight—this setup is lightweight and rigid, allowing for those quick shifts you crave. Sure, the engagement might be a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for faster shifts. If you're pushing for larger clutch sizes, this kit absorbs heat like a champ, making it perfect for those intense racing sessions.

What you can expect:

• Light to moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement and a bit of gear rattle—it's all part of the experience.
• The friction life is moderate, but thanks to ACT's unique diaphragm design, you’ll get a bit more mileage out of it, though keep in mind that the rigid design could wear down the spline faster.
• Everything is engineered with precision and balanced accurately, using select ceramic materials that can take the heat and deliver maximum performance.
• This setup is really recommended for race use only—if you’re serious about performance, this is your clutch.
• Plus, it’s 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you know it’ll hold up at high RPMs.
