• Precision Cover Stampings: The cover is stamped with high precision to provide consistent rigidity, reducing deflection and maintaining stable pressure during clutch operation.
• Enhanced Clamp Load: Increases clamp load by 20 to 40 percent over stock, supporting higher torque levels and more aggressive driving styles.
• Durable Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of spirited driving and track use, ensuring reliable performance over time.
• Optimized for Street Discs: Recommended for use with a street disc, providing a smooth engagement and manageable pedal feel for daily driving.

Construction & Design

The ACT P/PL Sport Pressure Plate features a robust construction with high-quality materials to ensure durability and consistent performance. The diaphragm assembly is meticulously heat-treated through a four-stage process, which enhances its strength and fatigue resistance. The cover stamping process guarantees precise fitment and rigidity, minimizing deflection and maintaining optimal pressure on the clutch disc. This design results in a more responsive clutch pedal and improved power transfer, especially during aggressive driving or increased power output.

The pressure plate's design emphasizes heat dissipation and structural integrity, making it suitable for high-performance applications while maintaining street-friendly characteristics. Its lightweight construction also contributes to quicker throttle response and reduced pedal effort, providing a more engaging driving experience.
