If you're looking to take your ride to the next level, the Advanced Clutch HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit (TY4-HDR4) is one of those upgrades that really makes a difference. This kit features ACT's go-to Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is no joke. They’ve designed it with a unique diaphragm that ramps up the clamp load while minimizing deflection. What does that mean for you? Better clutch life and performance that’ll keep you smiling every time you hit the gas.

ACT doesn’t skimp on quality here. Each diaphragm goes through a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring you get top-notch performance when you need it. The pressure plates are crafted with precision cover stampings that add a level of rigidity and consistency, so you know it’s built to last.

Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are made with high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means they can handle the heat and keep performing at their best. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated too, giving you that extra strength and durability you want when you're pushing your engine hard. Plus, the lightweight and rigid design means you can shift quicker and enjoy a smoother ride. Just a heads-up though: with that 4-pad design, engagement is a bit harsher, but it allows for faster shifts, which can be a game-changer on the track.

When it comes to installation, you'll want to check out the install instructions here. It’s straightforward, but having a guide never hurts.

Features you’ll appreciate:
