Alright, let's talk about the ACT AR1-HDG6 Heavy Duty/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit. If you’re serious about performance, this is a clutch setup you should definitely consider. It’s got ACT’s popular Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is built to handle the heat of high horsepower applications. The diaphragm design is pretty slick—it boosts clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps the clutch last longer. Plus, they heat-treat the diaphragms through a four-stage process, which really cranks up the performance level.
This kit isn’t just about the pressure plate, though. The 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is where the magic happens. It’s designed to dampen those annoying torsional vibrations while holding up under some serious stress. Just a heads up, the engagement is a bit harsher, but that means you’re getting faster shifts. If you’ve got a beefy setup, this disc can handle it, plus it absorbs more heat—perfect for those who like to push their rides to the limit.
Now, let’s get into some specifics. This kit is compatible with:
And here’s what you can expect in terms of features:
For the specs nerds out there, here’s the breakdown:
And just to make sure you have everything you need, the kit includes grease, a pilot bushing, an alignment tool, and a release bearing. It’s worth noting that it doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder, flywheel, or bolts, so keep that in mind when you’re gearing up for installation.
If you’re ready to step up your clutch game, this kit is a solid choice. Just make sure you’re prepared for that more aggressive engagement—it’s all part of the performance package!
