If you're serious about getting the most out of your Honda Civic, the ACT MaXX/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit (HC7-XXR4) is where it’s at. This isn’t just your average clutch kit; it’s built for those who want to push their ride to the limit. The MaXX pressure plate is a standout feature, designed specifically for enthusiasts who need that extra grip. It uses a unique diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load while minimizing deflection, which means you get more consistent performance and a longer-lasting clutch.

What really sets this kit apart is the four-stage heat-treating process that every diaphragm goes through. This isn’t just for show; it’s all about reliability when you’re really pushing your engine. The precision cover stampings on the pressure plates ensure that everything stays rigid and consistent, even during those high-stress moments on the track.

The 4-pad rigid race discs are made from top-notch ceramic friction materials. This means they can handle high heat without breaking a sweat. Plus, the chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for added strength and durability—because nobody wants a clutch failure mid-race. The lightweight design allows for quicker shifts, which is a game changer when you’re trying to shave off those precious seconds. Just keep in mind, engagement is a bit harsher, but that’s the trade-off for faster shifting.
