In The Clutch!

Advanced Clutch Technology, or ACT, releases its new Sport line of clutch kits for various Honda/Acura applications. Designed as an entry-level clutch for the dedicated enthusiast with basic upgrades, the new Sport clutch kits offer much improved performance over the factory unit, but aren’t as intense as the ACT Heavy-duty or Xtreme line of ultra-high performance clutches. The Sport Street clutch kit combines the SP pressure plate and a performance disc that features organic friction materials to withstand increased heat and abuse, steel back linings for high burst strength, and modification engineered for quicker shifting. Additionally, the Sport line street clutch kit provides a lighter pedal feel when compared to ACT’s Heavy-duty pressure plate, but still offers consistent pedal feel, smooth engagement, and significantly improved durability. Depending on the application, clamping loads are increased by 25 to 40 percent!

Available for: Integra ’90–’01 B18 B17; RSX K20; Civic ’90–’07 D, B, K; Accord ’90–’02 F23; Prelude H23, H22.

Control From Front To Back

Powerflex is back once again with a suspension bushing upgrade for the one and only S2000. Long praised for its impressive handling right out of the box, the S2000 has also gained a reputation for tricky handling at speed as the car’s suspension geometry is compromised during hard cornering. After seeing an alarming number of front wishbone bushing failures, Powerflex decided to complement its rear suspension bushing setup with an all-new front replacement kit. Thanks to a newly developed RotoBall design that features a dual-rate polyurethane ball, zinc-plated outer shell, and stainless steel center, the compliance rate has been drastically improved and geometry control is enhanced greatly with almost friction-free operation.
