If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit (HW3-HDG6) is a solid choice. This kit features ACT's heavy-duty pressure plate, which is a favorite among enthusiasts for good reason. It's got this unique diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and really helps extend the life of your clutch. They've put these diaphragms through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know they're built to last under pressure.
The pressure plate itself is precision-stamped, which means it’s rigid and consistent—no flimsy parts here. Now, the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is where things get interesting. It’s designed to dampen torsional vibrations, which is a lifesaver when you're pushing your car hard. It's a bit harsher on engagement, but that’s the trade-off for quicker shifts, and trust me, it’s worth it. This setup is particularly recommended for those running larger clutch sizes, as it can handle the heat better.
