Alright, let’s talk about the ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit (HC2-HDG6) for a sec. If you’re serious about getting the most out of your Honda Civic or CR-X from 1988, this is the clutch kit you want to check out. It’s built around ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate, which is pretty much their bread and butter. The design here is all about maximizing clamp load and minimizing deflection, which means you’re getting a clutch that lasts longer and performs better under pressure.

What’s really cool is that each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process. This isn’t just for show; it actually enhances performance in tough conditions. You’ll notice the difference when you’re shifting gears, especially with that 6-pad, spring-centered race disc. It’s designed to dampen torsional vibrations, so you’re not just slamming gears without any thought. Sure, the engagement is a bit harsher, but that’s part of the deal when you want faster shifts. Plus, it’s perfect for those of you pushing higher horsepower on the street or at the track.

Now, let’s get into some specifics. This kit is engineered to handle some serious heat, thanks to the ceramic friction materials used. You’re looking at a clutch disc diameter of 7.9 inches (or 200 mm), and it’s got a torque capacity of 270 ft/lbs—definitely a step up from stock. Just remember, you’ll need to pair this with a factory flywheel to get the best results.
