What is the main difference between this rigid 6-pad disc and a sprung disc?

A rigid 6-pad disc, like the one in this kit, offers faster shifting because there are no springs to absorb the impact. However, this also means engagement is harsher and it's not as forgiving for everyday driving compared to a sprung disc.

Does this clutch kit include the necessary hardware for installation?

The ACT BM12-XTR6 kit includes the pressure plate and the rigid 6-pad race disc. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or components that may be required for your specific vehicle.

What does the 'XT/Race' designation mean for this ACT clutch kit?

Product Details

BM12-XTR6 kit features an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver. ACT Xtreme pressure plates use exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life. All diaphragms endure a four-stage, heat-treating process for unparalleled performance. ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings to provide rigidity and consistency. ACT's 6-pad rigid race discs are made with high quality, ceramic friction materials. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for strength and durability. The lightweight, rigid design allows for quicker shifts and smooth, trouble-free service. With the 6-pad rigid race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The 6-pad rigid race disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat.
