• Spring-Centered Race Disc: The 6-pad spring-centered race disc features a spring-center construction that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, providing smoother engagement and reducing driveline shock during aggressive shifts.
• Precision Manufacturing: The pressure plates feature precision cover stampings that enhance rigidity and consistency, ensuring reliable performance over time.
• Enhanced Heat Resistance: The components are designed to withstand high temperatures generated during aggressive driving or racing, maintaining consistent engagement and preventing clutch fade.
• Optimized for Performance: This clutch kit is tailored for high-performance street and race applications, supporting increased horsepower and torque while maintaining a factory-like pedal feel.

Construction & Design

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit features a meticulously engineered design that combines durability with performance. The pressure plate is constructed from high-quality steel and features a sprung hub to absorb torsional vibrations, reducing stress on drivetrain components. The clutch disc employs a six-pad spring-centered design, which provides excellent vibration damping and smooth engagement, crucial for high-stress driving scenarios.

The components are manufactured with precision CNC machining and heat-treated to withstand extreme conditions. The sprung hub and multi-pad design work together to deliver consistent power transfer, minimize chatter, and extend the lifespan of the clutch system. This setup ensures your BMW 525i can handle increased power levels without sacrificing drivability or comfort.
