This kit features an Xtreme pressure plate with an exclusive diaphragm design that increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and extends clutch life, ensuring consistent power transfer under high-stress conditions. Each pressure plate undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, delivering unmatched strength and thermal resilience. Precision cover stampings in the ACT pressure plates provide added rigidity and consistency, contributing to smooth operation and reliable engagement.\u003cbr\u003eThe included 6-pad spring-centered race disc uses a spring-center construction to absorb torsional vibrations effectively and resist failure during aggressive driving or racing. Wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings in the ACT spring retainers support the springs, reduce stress concentrations, and enhance overall strength and durability. While engagement can be more aggressive, shifting remains quick and precise, making this setup ideal for larger clutch sizes that require increased heat absorption.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for high horsepower street or racing applications, this kit employs carefully selected ceramic friction materials that tolerate high temperatures and deliver maximum performance. The components are 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced, ensuring smooth operation at high RPMs. Moderate to heavy pedal effort is expected, with features that reduce gear rattle and extend friction life through innovative design. Backed by ACT's industry-leading one-year warranty, this clutch kit offers an excellent balance of performance, reliability, and longevity for your Ford Focus.\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are upgrading for street performance or competitive racing, the ACT XT\/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit provides the robust, precise clutch engagement needed to handle increased power and demanding driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eXtreme pressure plate design increases clamp load and reduces deflection for enhanced durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFour-stage heat treatment process ensures high strength and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecision cover stampings offer rigidity and consistent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e6-pad spring-centered race disc dampens torsional vibrations and resists failure\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWraparound spring windows and thicker retainers provide spring support and reduce stress\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptimized for high horsepower street and race applications with high heat tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCarefully engineered, precisely assembled, and dynamically balanced for smooth high RPM operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eModerate to heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement and gear rattle reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBacked by a one-year warranty for confidence in performance and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\n\u003cbr\u003e2013 Ford Focus ST\n\u003cbr\u003e2014 Ford Focus ST\n\u003cbr\u003e2015 Ford Focus ST\n\u003cbr\u003e2016 Ford Focus RS\n\u003cbr\u003e2016 Ford Focus ST\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Ford Focus RS\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Ford Focus ST\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Ford Focus RS\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Ford Focus ST\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45981149823175,"sku":"actFF5-XTG6","price":1688.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/74d195cc3cd1838b9491e6aa2d67a9c8.jpg?v=1766514272","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/act-16-18-ford-focus-rs-st-xt-race-sprung-6-pad-clutch-kit-high-performance-upgrade","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
