ACT 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST/RS XT Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit

Specifications   Part Details: The FF5-XTG6 clutch kit features ACT’s Xtreme pressure plate, designed for drivers who demand maximum holding power and durability in high-torque applications. This setup is intended for aggressive driving conditions where reliability and performance take priority over comfort. ACT Xtreme pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to significantly increase clamp load while reducing deflection. This design helps maintain consistent engagement and maximize clutch life under extreme torque and heat conditions. 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, helping distribute clamp load evenly across the friction surface during hard use. This rigidity is critical for maintaining performance in demanding driving environments. The kit includes ACT’s 6-pad, spring-centered race disc, engineered to withstand harsh conditions while properly damping torsional vibrations. The spring-centered hub helps absorb shock loads during engagement, reducing stress on the drivetrain compared to unsprung race discs. High-Performance Engagement Characteristics ACT spring retainers utilize wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to improve spring support and reduce stress concentrations. This design increases overall strength and reliability, especially under repeated high-load engagement. With the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc, engagement is noticeably more aggressive compared to full-face or street-oriented disc designs. In return, shifting is faster and more direct, making this clutch well suited for high-performance builds where responsiveness and heat capacity are critical. The 6-pad spring-centered disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes where increased heat absorption is required, making this kit a strong option for vehicles subjected to frequent hard launches, spirited driving, or track-focused use.
