Key Features:

Built to meet the needs of performance drivers, the ACT 4 Pad Rigid Race Disc incorporates advanced materials and design elements:

• Aggressive engagement for quicker clutch response and reduced slippage
• Four ceramic friction pads that provide high heat tolerance and moderate wear rates
• Top-grade rivets engineered for maximum strength and secure assembly
• Rigid disc design that enhances power transfer but may increase spline wear
• Chromoly hub that is heat-treated to improve strength and durability
• High burst strength capable of holding 28% more torque than typical organic discs
• Compact 9.4-inch (240 mm) diameter suited for smaller engine applications
• Lightweight construction at approximately 1.9 lbs for reduced rotational mass

Construction & Design:

The ACT 4 Pad Rigid Race Disc is crafted with premium ceramic friction materials that withstand high temperatures and maintain consistent performance under racing conditions. The ceramic pads provide a harsher engagement compared to organic materials, allowing for faster and more precise shifts. The disc’s rivets are made from top-grade materials selected for their strength and reliability, ensuring the assembly remains intact even under extreme stress.

The chromoly steel hub is heat-treated to enhance its structural integrity, providing durability and resistance to wear. This rigid hub design contributes to the disc’s ability to handle increased torque loads, making it a reliable choice for performance-oriented Dodge Neon drivers.

Performance & Sound

The 4 Pad Rigid Race Disc delivers an aggressive clutch engagement that results in quicker shifts and improved throttle response. Drivers can expect increased gear rattle due to the rigid design, which is typical for race-oriented clutch discs. This characteristic provides tactile feedback favored by racers but may be less comfortable for daily street driving. The disc’s ceramic pads also contribute to moderate wear rates while maintaining excellent heat tolerance during high-performance use.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch disc is a direct fit replacement for 2003 to 2005 Dodge Neon models, designed to work with the factory clutch assembly and related components. Installation requires standard clutch service procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper alignment and engagement. No modifications are typically necessary, but it is recommended to inspect the entire clutch system during installation to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
