If you're serious about performance, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit (BM12-HDG6) is a game changer. I’ve been through my fair share of clutches, and let me tell you, this one stands out. It features ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate, which isn’t just a fancy title. This thing is built with an exclusive diaphragm design that cranks up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and really extends the life of your clutch. They put these diaphragms through a four-stage heat-treating process, which means you’re getting some serious durability and performance out of the box.

The pressure plate itself is made with precision cover stampings that give it the rigidity you want when you're pushing your car to the limits. Now, let's talk about the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc. This isn’t your average disc; it’s designed to dampen torsional vibrations, making it a beast under harsh conditions. I’ve pushed this kit through some serious driving, and it handles the heat like a champ, especially for those higher horsepower applications.

Sure, the engagement might feel a bit harsher compared to your stock setup, but that’s the trade-off for quicker shifts. If you’re running a larger clutch size, this disc is a must-have for absorbing more heat and keeping things smooth.

Installation is straightforward, and if you need a little guidance, you can check out the install instructions here.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Light to moderate pedal effort, with an aggressive engagement that gives you that sporty feel.
• Moderate friction life, but thanks to ACT's design, you’ll get more out of it.

• Perfect for both high horsepower street setups and race applications.
• Each unit is clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you know it’ll perform smoothly at high RPMs.
