So I when I searched for a clutch 2 years ago there were TONS of options from ACT. Different "maximum torque" levels... now they have 2 pressure plates (the HD and Xtreme), and 2 clutch discs (6 puck and street disc).... anyone know what happened/happening to em?! or maybe they are just cutting out a lot of extras on cars that don't sell a lot? Figured I'd see if anyone had ideas or knowledge about ACT.

They have two pressure plates, but the max torque capacity is a function of both the pressure plate and the disk you choose. i.e. an organic disk has a lower coefficient of friction than a button style disk. Two pressure plates and three choices of disk would mean 6 different torque capacities.

ahhhh just a more efficient way of selling. that makes sense. just seemed like everthing on their site was sold out, and they just had individual stuff left. Not the actual kits that come with everything.
