Key Features

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit incorporates several advanced features designed to optimize performance and longevity:

• High clamp load pressure plate utilizing ACT's exclusive diaphragm design, which increases clamping force while reducing deflection for improved power transfer and pedal feel.
• All diaphragms undergo a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring unparalleled strength, resilience, and heat resistance during aggressive driving conditions.
• Precision cover stampings provide added rigidity and consistency, resulting in smooth engagement and reliable operation over time.
• The 6-pad spring-centered race disc is engineered to damp torsional vibrations effectively, reducing driveline shock and enhancing drivability during high-stress driving scenarios.
• Spring-centered construction helps absorb torsional vibrations, providing a smoother engagement and reducing stress on drivetrain components.
• Designed with durability in mind, the kit's components are built to withstand the rigors of racing and high-performance street use.
• Optimized for aggressive driving, the clutch kit offers excellent heat dissipation and wear resistance, extending service life even under demanding conditions.
• Compatible with a wide range of BMW models, ensuring a precise fit and straightforward installation.

Construction & Design

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit features a robust construction with high-quality materials tailored for high-performance applications. The pressure plate is crafted from durable steel with a precision-machined diaphragm, ensuring consistent pressure and engagement. The clutch disc employs a spring-centered design with six friction pads, providing excellent vibration damping and power transfer. The components are assembled with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.

The design emphasizes heat resistance and longevity, with heat-treated diaphragms and high-friction materials that resist fade during intense use. The sprung hub design absorbs torsional vibrations, reducing stress on the drivetrain and enhancing overall driving comfort. This combination of engineering excellence and quality materials results in a clutch that not only performs under extreme conditions but also maintains consistent engagement and pedal feel over time.

Installation & Fitment

The ACT XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is a bolt-on upgrade designed for straightforward installation on compatible BMW models. It uses the factory mounting points and does not require modifications to the transmission or flywheel. However, due to the increased clamping force and performance characteristics, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and alignment. No cutting, drilling, or tuning is typically required, but an inspection of the clutch components and proper break-in procedures are advised for optimal performance.

• Direct bolt-on installation for BMW 318, 323, 325, 328, 330, 525, 528, 530, M3, and Z3 models (2000–2006).
• Designed to fit OEM flywheels and transmission input shafts.
