ACT ? Advanced Clutch Technology | Clutch Kits & Flywheels Built to Handle Real Power

If you've added boost, tuned for more power, or simply want better throttle control, then your stock clutch won't cut it. That?s where ACT (Advanced Clutch Technology) comes in delivering high-performance clutch kits and flywheels designed for real drivers who push their builds on the street, strip, or track.

ACT?s lineup includes everything from daily driver friendly HD kits to hardcore twin disc setups for serious horsepower. Whether you?re launching hard in a WRX, drifting in a 370Z, or canyon carving in an M3, ACT gives you the torque capacity and engagement you need without sacrificing drivability.

Why ACT? Because Power Without Control Is Useless.

Hold More Power Engineered to handle turbo, supercharger, and high-compression builds
Faster Engagement Stronger pressure plates for better bite off the line
Better Pedal Feel Balanced response without going full race-car stiff
Reduced Rotational Mass Lightweight flywheels improve rev-matching and response
No Guesswork Direct-fit applications, no fabbing, no hassle

ACT Clutch Kits and Flywheels Fit the Cars Enthusiasts Build

ACT doesn?t just make universal performance parts ? they build complete, vehicle-specific clutch solutions for enthusiast favorites. Whether you daily a Civic Type R, track a Subaru STI, drift a 240SX, or drag a Mustang GT, ACT offers the right clutch to match your build goals.

Top supported platforms include the Nissan 350Z/370Z, Toyota Supra A90, Chevy Camaro SS/ZL1, Mitsubishi Evo, Ford Focus RS/ST, and BMW M3/M4 ? each with clutch options tuned to your driving needs.

What ACT Offers:

Performance Clutch Kits From HD street kits to twin-disc race systems
Clutch Discs 6-puck, full-face, rigid or sprung to match your style
Pressure Plates Heavy-duty options that increase clamp load without sacrificing control
Chromoly Lightweight Flywheels Quicker revs, smoother shifts, and less drivetrain stress
Complete Hardware Kits Everything you need for a proper install

Performance Tested. Driver Approved.

ACT isn?t hype ? it?s proven. Their clutches are SFI-certified, track-tested, and used by racers in drag, time attack, autocross, drift, and rally. But what really matters? They hold power, last longer, and feel right even after hundreds of hard launches or hours of canyon carving.

Whether you're upgrading for more power or replacing a tired OEM clutch, ACT gives you the bite, strength, and feel to drive harder with confidence. No compromises, no excuses just parts that work when it matters.
