Performance Street discs have higher copper content friction lining for heat tolerance and steel-backed lining for greater burst strength and durability. Also, they feature top grade rivets to soundly fasten the part together. The rivet design and rivet materials are carefully selected for maximum strength.

⚠️ What to Expect

• Firmer pedal feel vs stock
• Slightly more aggressive engagement
• Still very street-friendly

Translation: noticeable upgrade, not annoying.

Installation Notes

• Resurface or replace flywheel (recommended)

ACT spring-centered assemblies use bushings and cone springs very similar to factory seize discs. This creates frictional dampening which improves seize life and reduces noise. All Performance Street discs are certified as meeting SFI Specification 1.1 and are legal in all racing organizations that require SFI certification. The kit is completed with a quality, stock replacement release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool.
