Upgrading your Mazdaspeed 3 or 6 clutch is an important part of the modifying process. Although the stock clutch is actually pretty good in the Mazdaspeed MZR DISI, it's still a wear item that will eventually need to be replaced, especially if it's being subjected to more abuse from track use or just higher powered engines than stock. ACT's Heavy Duty 6 Puck Clutch kits feature a 6 pad, segmented design. This style is more performance oriented and should not be considered the most streetable clutch, although it still is streetable. It engages quickly due to the lighter rotating mass of the segmented design and less overall material to slip along the pressure plate and flywheel. It is has a more noticeable amount of vibration and harshness than the full face. Alhtough this clutch is dramatically different feeling than stock, it is almost a dramatic increase in performance. This is a solid hub clutch disc which will provide little room for comfort, but does not sacrifice performance. This design is very much recommended for racing setups only or for the courageous street drivers that only care about performance. The Prolite flywheel is the lighter flywheel option out of the 2 different types which allows for quicker revs and less parasitic drivetrain loss than a heavier flywheel. The heavy duty pressure plate provides much more grabbing power than stock and this is noticeable in the clutch pedal feel. It will feel stiffer and more difficult to press down. It's a small compromise for the increase in performance of the car.
ACT clutches for the Mazdaspeed come COMPLETE in every way. Every kit features everything you need to perform the install except for the flyhweel bolts which aren't common in any kit. These are available separately right here and you'll need 6 of them. ACT kits come with the following parts.

We recommend this kit for anybody wanting to use their car strictly for performance reasons and does not care very much about comfort. We DO NOT recommend this clutch for any daily driver.
