Construction & Design:

The ACT HD/Perf Street Rigid Clutch Kit is built with precision and durability in mind. The Heavy Duty pressure plate utilizes a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which directly contributes to longer clutch life and consistent engagement. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to ensure exceptional strength and performance under high thermal stress.

The clutch disc combines premium organic friction materials enriched with copper to enhance heat dissipation, reducing fade during aggressive driving. Its steel-backed lining provides added burst strength, while the rigid chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to withstand high torque loads and resist wear. The entire assembly is dynamically computer balanced and clamp load tested to guarantee smooth operation at high RPMs.
