If you're looking to take your Honda Civic or CR-X to the next level, the Advanced Clutch MaXX/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit HC6-XXR6 is where it's at. This isn’t just another clutch kit; it’s built for those who really push their rides to the limit. With its MaXX pressure plate, you’re getting a serious upgrade that’s designed for enthusiasts who demand performance.

The secret sauce here is ACT's unique diaphragm design. It cranks up the clamp load while minimizing deflection, which means your clutch lasts longer and performs better. And trust me, after going through a four-stage heat-treating process, these diaphragms are tough as nails. Each one is precision-stamped to ensure rigidity and consistency, which is crucial when you’re racing or just pushing your car hard on the street.

Now, let’s talk about the 6-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are made with high-quality ceramic friction materials that can handle heat like a champ. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated too, so you know it’s built to withstand the rigors of racing. The lightweight design means you can shift faster and smoother, but be warned: engagement can be a bit harsher. If you’re after quick shifts and don’t mind a little extra pedal effort, this setup is perfect for you.

Keep in mind, this kit is really meant for race use. It’s engineered for heavy to very heavy pedal effort, which means you’ll feel that aggressive engagement. It’s not going to be the most comfortable setup for daily driving, but if you’re serious about performance, that’s a small price to pay. Plus, ACT’s diaphragm design helps extend the friction life, although the rigid nature might increase spline wear over time.

For those who want the nitty-gritty details, here’s what you need to know:

• Clutch Disc Diameter: 8.3 inches (212 mm)
• Torque Capacity: 420 ft/lbs, which is 1.73 times over OE
• Input Spline Quantity: 21
• Input Shaft Diameter: 0.875 inches
• Disc Material: Ceramic
• Product Weight: 10.4 lbs

Oh, and before you dive into installation, a few notes: You’ll need to pair this with a 90-01 SOHC flywheel or an ACT flywheel, as it’s not included in the kit. Also, it’s got a moderate friction life, but you’ll definitely notice the performance boost. Just make sure you have everything you need, like the alignment tool, grease, and pilot bearing, which are included.

So, if you’re ready to feel the difference and unleash the full potential of your ride, the HC6-XXR6 kit is waiting for you. Just remember, this is for those who take their driving seriously—no half measures here.
