If you're looking to beef up your clutch setup, the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate MZ017 is a solid choice. This isn't just any pressure plate—it's got a unique diaphragm design that cranks up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. Seriously, these guys put their diaphragms through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know you're getting top-notch performance.
What makes this pressure plate stand out? For starters, it boosts clamp load by 20 to 50 percent compared to stock. That means when you hit the gas, you’re getting a more responsive feel without the usual pedal effort that leaves your leg sore after a long drive. It's designed for both street and race applications, making it versatile enough for whatever your needs are.
Each ACT pressure plate is crafted with precision cover stampings, ensuring it holds up under pressure while maintaining consistency. Plus, they've gone the extra mile by testing each one for clamp load and balancing them dynamically for smooth operation, even when you’re pushing high RPMs. If you’re the kind of driver who likes to feel connected to the road, this plate is definitely worth considering.
