What is the benefit of increased clamp load?

Increased clamp load means the pressure plate presses harder against the clutch disc. This helps ensure the clutch fully engages and transfers power without slipping, especially under higher loads or with performance clutch discs.

What type of clutch disc is recommended with this pressure plate?

ACT recommends using this Heavy Duty pressure plate with a street or race clutch disc. It's designed to handle more clamping force than a stock pressure plate.

Does this pressure plate come with a clutch disc or flywheel?

This product is for the pressure plate only. You will need to purchase a compatible clutch disc and potentially a flywheel separately.
