Product Description

The ACT VW9-HDSS Heavy Duty Performance Street Sprung Clutch Kit is engineered for Volkswagen performance enthusiasts looking to upgrade from the stock clutch while maintaining everyday drivability with improved torque handling. This complete kit pairs ACT's heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate with a sprung organic disc to deliver smooth engagement, superior heat tolerance, and a significantly higher torque capacity (~500 ft-lbs) than OEM clutches. The included Streetlite flywheel reduces rotational mass for quicker throttle response without sacrificing street comfort.

Designed for 2.0-liter performance VW models - including the GTI and Golf R across multiple trims from 2015 through 2024 - the VW9-HDSS balances street performance with reliability. Its premium friction materials and rigid pressure plate design improve friction life and reduce fade under load, making it suitable for spirited driving and occasional track use. This direct-fit kit includes all major mechanical components (except clutch master or slave cylinders) and comes with essential hardware for installation. Verify specific vehicle transmission compatibility before purchase.
