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 Street Performance Street clutch kit features a full face disc for more streetable use. It has a larger contact area for the clutch to engage which will be a little better than a segmented or pucked design when it comes to vibration and harshness. An overall smoother feel will be experienced compared to more aggressive kits. It also features a sprung center hub which reduces vibration over a solid hub. The Streetlite flywheel is the heavier flywheel option out of the 2 different types but is still much light than stock and 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 a little 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 any stock turbo or slightly larger turbo setup on the Mazdaspeed 3 or 6 that wants to retain as much driveability as possible while increasing performance.

Noisy
Installed this clutch its ok but its noisy compared to OEM, at low rpms makes a noticeable noise and at idle. Did notice the difference not recommended for a daily driven car, hoping don’t get worse with time.

Better than Mazda OEM
Good stock feel but with quicker response. Some increase in vibration below 2000, however not really an issue.

Perfect oem replacement
Feels almost like stock. Haven't noticed any weird vibrations or chatter. Engine revs just a bit faster but not too much different. Can definitely feel the clamping force improved. This should have been the stock clutch setup.
