ACT Extreme Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit 06-26 WRX / 05-12 Legacy GT / 05-09 Outback XT / 06-08 Forester XT / 06 Baja | 681 ft/lbs Torque Capacity | High-Performance Clutch Kit
Overview
The ACT Extreme Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance and durability in high-stress driving environments. Designed for select WRX, Legacy GT, Outback XT, Forester XT, and Baja models, this clutch kit delivers aggressive engagement and exceptional torque capacity, making it ideal for race applications and serious track use. It’s tailored for drivers who require a clutch that can handle elevated power levels while maintaining consistent, reliable operation.
ACT’s design philosophy centers on maximizing clamp load and minimizing deflection through their exclusive Xtreme pressure plate diaphragm design. This pressure plate undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to ensure durability under extreme conditions. The clutch disc features a rigid 6-pad ceramic friction material bonded to a heat-treated chrome-moly hub, providing high heat tolerance and strength. Precision cover stampings add rigidity and consistency, resulting in a clutch system that is both robust and balanced for high RPM reliability.
For Subaru owners pushing their vehicles beyond stock limits, this clutch kit offers a significant upgrade in torque capacity—121% over OEM—allowing for quicker shifts and improved power transfer. While engagement is more aggressive and pedal effort is moderate to heavy, the trade-off is faster, more precise gear changes and enhanced durability under race conditions. This kit is a practical choice for those who prioritize performance and reliability in demanding driving scenarios.
