Product Description

The ACT AR1-XTSS clutch kit is engineered specifically for high-revving Acura RSX Type-S models, delivering a significant improvement in torque capacity while maintaining smooth, street-friendly drivability. The XT-Series pressure plate provides increased clamp force and higher thermal resistance, making it ideal for enthusiastic daily drivers and lightly modified K20 builds.

Designed for both the K20A2 (2002-2004) and K20Z1 (2005-2006) platforms, this kit features a sprung performance disc that absorbs drivetrain shock and reduces chatter. Precision-balanced components ensure excellent engagement characteristics and long-term durability. Whether used for canyon driving, autocross, or spirited daily use, the AR1-XTSS provides a reliable upgrade over the factory clutch system.
