Fitment Information: This clutch kit fits 2006 - 2017 Subaru WRX and 2005 - 2012 Subaru Legacy GT. Starting mid - 2018MY production with VIN J*806877, Subaru incorporated 240mm clutch components, and this ACT kit is not compatible with the revised OEM parts. Features: The ACT SB5 - HDSS kit combines a sprung, high - performance street clutch disc with a well - loved heavy duty pressure plate. You'll experience light to moderate pedal effort, smooth positive engagement, and it can handle up to 420ft/lbs of torque on your WRX. Ideal for both street and race use. The ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. This design increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and extends clutch life. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. The pressure plates have precision cover stampings for rigidity and consistency. The Performance Street discs are made of premium organic materials with high copper content for efficient heat transfer and steel - backed lining for greater strength and durability. They have reduced marcel for faster shifting to match the ACT pressure plates. Key Features: Light to moderate pedal effort, smooth engagement, and mild gear rattle similar to OE. Recommended for street and race use. Torque capacity of 420ft/lbs. 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer - balanced for reliable high - RPM performance. What's Included: Performance Street Sprung Disc, Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, Alignment Tool, Release Bearing, Pilot Bearing.
Using Your ACT Clutch Kit: First, make sure your vehicle is in the fitment range (2006 - 2017 Subaru WRX or 2005 - 2012 Subaru Legacy GT, but not the 2018 models with the revised OEM components). Install all the included parts - the Performance Street Sprung Disc, Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, Alignment Tool, Release Bearing, and Pilot Bearing. When you start using the clutch, you'll notice a light to moderate pedal effort and a smooth engagement. This makes it great for both daily driving on the street and for race situations. Note that there might be a bit of gear rattle, similar to the original equipment. Maintenance Tips: Keep an eye on the clutch performance. If you notice any changes in pedal feel or engagement, it could be a sign that something needs checking. Also, since the clutch discs are designed for good heat transfer, avoid excessive slipping of the clutch, as this can generate too much heat and reduce the lifespan of the components. If you're using the vehicle for racing, make sure to inspect the clutch more frequently. Remember, this clutch kit has been tested for clamp load and balanced for high - RPM reliability, so drive with confidence but also take good care of it.
