If you're looking for a clutch kit that can handle the demands of your spirited driving, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 4 Pad Kit (ZP2-HDG4) might just be what you need. This isn't your run-of-the-mill setup; it's built around ACT's popular Heavy Duty pressure plate. What does that mean for you? Well, it’s designed with a unique diaphragm that cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps the clutch last longer. Seriously, this thing is tough. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, which really sets it apart in terms of performance. Plus, the precision cover stampings give it the rigidity you want for consistent engagement.The 4-pad spring-centered race disc is where things get interesting. It's got a spring center that helps dampen torsional vibrations, so you get a quieter ride even when you're pushing it hard. And don’t worry about it failing on you; it’s built to withstand some serious abuse. The wraparound spring windows and beefier retainer stampings keep everything strong and reliable, which is crucial when you're on the track or just having fun on back roads.Now, let’s talk about how this setup feels. Engagement is definitely on the harsher side, which means you're going to feel every shift. But that also means you can shift faster, which is a big plus if you're chasing down a lap time. It’s particularly great for smaller engines that can benefit from a smaller disc size.Install Instructions:
