If you're looking to take your Honda Civic's performance up a notch, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 4 Pad Kit (HW3-HDG4) is definitely worth considering. This kit comes equipped with ACT's heavy-duty pressure plate, which is a favorite among those who really push their cars. The unique diaphragm design isn’t just for show; it ramps up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. Seriously, this thing is built to endure.
One of the standout features is the four-stage heat-treating process that each diaphragm goes through. This means you’re getting a part that’s not just tough but also reliable under extreme conditions. The precision cover stampings add to the overall rigidity and consistency, which is a big deal when you’re trying to get the most out of your ride.
Now, let’s talk about that 4-pad spring-centered race disc. It’s designed to dampen torsional vibrations, so you can expect a quieter operation, even when you’re really pushing the limits. Sure, the engagement is a bit harsher, but that just means faster shifts—perfect for those who appreciate quick gear changes. This disc is particularly suited for smaller engines, making it a solid choice if you’re working with a compact setup.
As for the installation, you can find all the details you need right here. Just a heads up, while it’s a straightforward process, having the right tools makes a world of difference.
