If you're serious about performance, the Advanced Clutch XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit ZM2-XTR6 is a game changer for your Mazda Miata, specifically from 1990-1997 and 1999-2005. This isn’t just another clutch kit; it’s built for those who push their cars to the limit. The Xtreme pressure plate is designed for the most demanding drivers, using a unique diaphragm that ramps up clamp load while keeping deflection to a minimum. This means you get more grip and less slippage, which is exactly what you want when you're hammering through the gears. Plus, the four-stage heat-treating process gives it some serious durability, so you can count on it when the heat is on.

What really sets this kit apart is the 6-pad rigid race disc. Made from high-quality ceramic friction materials, it’s tough enough to handle the heat without breaking a sweat. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, which means it’s built to last. You’ll notice quicker shifts and smoother engagement, but be warned—this setup has a harsher engagement feel. If you’re racing or just love spirited driving, that’s a small price to pay for the speed you gain.

Now, let’s talk specs. This kit is engineered for performance. It features:

• Clutch disc diameter of 8.8 inches (224 mm)
• A solid disc type, which means no springs to slow you down
• Torque capacity of 405 ft/lbs, giving you a solid boost over the OE setup
• 22 input splines with a diameter of 0.9375 inches

Just a heads up, this kit is meant for race use only, so if you’re looking for a comfy daily driver feel, you might want to think twice. Expect moderate to heavy pedal effort and some extra gear rattle—it's all part of the package when you’re going for performance. And yes, it’s 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you can trust it will hold up at high RPMs.

Before you dive in, make sure to check out the install instructions to get everything set up right. This kit doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder or flywheel bolts, but it does include grease and an alignment tool to make your life a little easier.

So, if you’re ready to take your Miata to the next level, the ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is definitely worth considering. Just remember, it’s all about that raw, unfiltered performance.
