ACT Heavy Duty Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit 06-26 WRX / 05-12 Legacy GT / 05-09 Outback XT / 06-08 Forester XT / 06 Baja | 574 ft/lbs Torque Capacity | High-Performance Clutch Kit
Overview
The ACT Heavy Duty Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for Subaru performance enthusiasts who demand aggressive engagement and high torque capacity for race and high-power street applications. Designed to handle up to 574 ft/lbs of torque, this clutch kit is ideal for WRX, Legacy GT, Outback XT, Forester XT, and Baja models from the mid-2000s to mid-2010s. It delivers a firm, precise pedal feel with quicker shifts, making it a top choice for drivers pushing their Subaru platforms to the limit.
ACT’s design philosophy centers on durability and consistent performance under extreme conditions. The Heavy Duty pressure plate features an exclusive diaphragm design that increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and extends clutch life. The 6-pad rigid race disc uses high-quality ceramic friction materials combined with a heat-treated chrome-moly hub for strength and heat tolerance. This combination ensures reliable engagement and longevity even in demanding racing environments.
For Subaru owners, this clutch kit offers a significant upgrade over OEM components, especially when paired with modified engines or forced induction setups. The rigid 6-pad disc design provides a harsher engagement but allows for faster, more precise shifts, which is crucial for track use or spirited driving. While the pedal effort remains light to moderate, the clutch’s robust construction supports extended service life and high RPM reliability, making it a practical choice for serious Subaru enthusiasts.
