If you’re serious about your ride, the Advanced Clutch XT-M/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit ME2-XTR4 is worth a look. This kit is built for those who really push their vehicles to the limit. The Xtreme pressure plate is no joke; it’s designed for high-performance driving and can handle the heat. ACT’s exclusive diaphragm design cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection in check, which means your clutch is going to last longer and perform better, even under stress. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat treatment process, so you know it’s tough.

The pressure plates are engineered with precision cover stampings that provide both rigidity and consistency. Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These babies are made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means they can take a beating and still keep going. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, adding to its strength and durability. Plus, the lightweight design allows for quicker shifts, which is a game changer during those intense moments on the track.

With the 4-pad rigid race disc, you’ll notice the engagement is a bit harsher, but that’s what allows for those lightning-fast shifts. It’s particularly well-suited for smaller engines, making it a great choice if you're working with a compact setup. And let’s not forget about the Monoloc. This one-piece, direct replacement for the standard two-piece wedge collar and wire ring is a solid upgrade for pull-type clutches. The segmented retaining ring’s spring tension has been meticulously calculated and tested to ensure optimal performance. It keeps everything aligned, so you don’t have to worry about driver influence or any modifications messing things up.

In terms of installation, you can find the instructions here. Just a heads up, this kit isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll feel moderate to heavy pedal effort, and the aggressive engagement comes with increased gear rattle, but that’s just part of the thrill when you're shifting hard. It’s designed for race use, so keep that in mind.

Here’s a quick rundown of the specs:

• Clutch Disc Diameter: 9.4 in (240 mm)
• Torque Capacity: 787 ft/lbs (1.15 times over OE)
• Input Spline Quantity: 23
• Input Shaft Diameter: 1 in
• Disc Material: Ceramic
• Weight: 15.2 lbs

And just to clarify, this kit does not come with a clutch master cylinder, flywheel, or pilot bushing, but it does include grease and an alignment tool. The release bearing is included, so you’re set there.

In summary: If you’re looking to take your Mitsubishi Evolution (2003-2006) or Lancer (2002-2007) to the next level, this clutch kit is a no-brainer. It’s built to handle the demands of racing while giving you that confidence to push your limits. Just remember, it’s all about performance and durability with this setup.
