If you're looking for a clutch that can handle your heavy foot and the demands of the track, the Advanced Clutch XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit (BM9-XTR4) is where it's at. This kit features an Xtreme pressure plate designed for serious drivers who push their cars to the limit. What sets this pressure plate apart is its unique diaphragm design, which cranks up the clamp load while minimizing deflection. This means you're not just getting a clutch that holds up under pressure, but one that also lasts longer—thanks to a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process that ensures top-notch performance.

The precision cover stampings on the pressure plates add a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel when you’re shifting gears. Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. They’re made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means they can take a beating without losing their grip. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for extra strength and durability, so you know it’s built to last. Plus, the lightweight design allows for quicker shifts, making your driving experience smoother and more responsive.

Now, a heads-up: the engagement with this 4-pad disc is definitely on the harsher side. But if you’re all about speed, that’s a trade-off you’ll appreciate. This setup is particularly suited for smaller engine sizes, giving you that edge you need on the track.
