If you're looking to step up your clutch game, the Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) Heavy Duty Pressure Plate VW013 might just be what you need. This isn't just another part; it?s designed with a unique diaphragm that cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. Seriously, they put these diaphragms through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know they can take a beating. The precision cover stampings give it the rigidity you want, ensuring it performs consistently, whether you?re on the street or at the track.
Now, let?s talk numbers. This pressure plate boosts clamp load by 20 to 50 percent over stock, which is a big deal if you're pushing your car hard. It?s perfect for those who like to mix street driving with some weekend racing. Pair it with a solid street or race disc, and you?re golden.
