ACT Heavy Duty 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.\nHD\/Race Rigid 6 Pad\nLight to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement, increased gear rattle; Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design, rigid design may increase spline wear; Carefully engineered, precisely assembled, accurately balanced, uses select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance; Recommended for race use only; 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\"Excellence in Performance\", backed by the best one-year warranty in the industry!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrade your BMW with the ACT Heavy Duty Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit, designed specifically for models including the BMW Z3 from 1996 to 2002, as well as select 1998-2002 BMW 318i, 330i, 325xi, and 530i vehicles. This kit features ACT's most popular heavy-duty pressure plate, which incorporates an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, minimize deflection, and extend clutch life. All diaphragms undergo a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring durability and consistent high-performance under demanding conditions.\u003cbr\u003eThe clutch kit includes high-quality 6-pad rigid race discs made with premium ceramic friction materials, providing excellent heat resistance and aggressive engagement. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for enhanced strength and durability, while the lightweight, rigid design contributes to quicker shifts and smoother operation. This combination results in improved performance for spirited driving and racing applications. The rigid design delivers a harsher engagement, which benefits quick, precise shifts, but may result in increased spline wear over time.\u003cbr\u003eEngineered for race use, this clutch kit offers moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement and increased gear rattle. It provides moderate friction life, extended by ACT’s exclusive diaphragm design, and is carefully assembled to ensure precise balance and rigidity. Due to its robust construction, it is suitable primarily for high-performance applications where maximum heat absorption and clutch durability are required. Each kit is 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced to deliver high RPM reliability and consistent performance during intense driving conditions.\u003cbr\u003eThis product is not carb compliant and is intended for professional installation and race environments.
