If you're looking to step up your clutch game, the ACT XT/Perf Street Sprung Kit DN3-XTSS is worth a close look. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it's built for those who really push their rides to the limit. The Xtreme pressure plate in this kit is designed specifically for demanding drivers, so you know it’s up to the task. The exclusive diaphragm design cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum, which means you're getting more clutch life out of this setup. Plus, every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring it can handle the heat when things get intense.

What I love about the ACT pressure plates is that they’re not just tough; they’re also crafted with precision. The cover stampings add a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel during those high-RPM shifts. And let’s not forget about the Performance street discs. These are the go-to choice for many, featuring premium organic materials with a high copper content. This means better heat transfer and a steel-backed lining that gives you that extra burst strength and durability. The reduced marcel really helps with faster shift action, making it a smooth experience overall.

Now, let’s break down some of the features that make this kit stand out:

• Moderate to heavy pedal effort, but it’s smooth when you engage—no jerky movements here.
• Thanks to ACT's unique diaphragm design, you’ll enjoy a longer friction life.
• These discs are engineered for heat tolerance and reduced fade, so you can trust them on the street or at the track.
• Each component is 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, ensuring reliability even at high RPMs.

As for the specs, here’s what you need to know:

• Clutch Disc Diameter: 9.4 in (240 mm)
• Input Spline Quantity: 17
• Torque Capacity: 540 ft/lbs (that’s a solid upgrade over OE)
• Product Weight: 15.5 lbs
• Release Bearing: Included
• Grease: Yes, included

Just a heads up, this is a conversion kit that replaces the modular clutch. You’ll need to pair it with an ACT flywheel (not included), and the pressure plate bolts are included in the kit. It’s also important to note that the Dodge Neon 2000-2005 is the primary fitment for this setup.

In short, if you’re serious about performance and want a clutch that can handle the heat of street or race use, this kit has your back. It’s all about getting that perfect balance between power and reliability, and the ACT XT/Perf Street Sprung Kit delivers just that.
