ACT 2013-2015 Ford Focus ST HD Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit

Part Details:

The FF2-HDR6 clutch kit features ACT’s most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate paired with a 6-pad rigid race disc, designed for high-performance applications where fast shifting and durability are prioritized over comfort. This setup is intended for aggressive driving conditions that demand reliable torque holding and consistent performance.

ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load while reducing deflection, helping maximize clutch life under elevated torque levels. Each diaphragm undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process to ensure strength, durability, and consistent performance.

Pressure Plate & Disc Design

Precision-stamped pressure plate covers provide added rigidity and consistency, allowing even clamp load distribution across the friction surface. This rigidity helps maintain reliable engagement during hard launches and repeated high-load use.

The included ACT 6-pad rigid race disc is constructed using high-quality ceramic friction materials designed to withstand extreme heat and aggressive engagement. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for additional strength and durability, making it well suited for demanding performance environments.

High-Performance Engagement Characteristics

The lightweight, rigid disc design allows for quicker shifts and immediate power transfer by eliminating the damping found in spring-centered discs. As a result, engagement is noticeably harsher, but shifting response is faster and more direct.

The 6-pad rigid race disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes where increased heat absorption is required. This makes the FF2-HDR6 kit a strong option for vehicles subjected to frequent hard launches, aggressive driving, or track-focused use.
