No I am running the Specialty Z high 5 clutch but I don't see why a ACT clutch cant be downshifted. If you are rev matching properly there shouldn't be that much stress put on the clutch.

Maybe it's how rigid the pressure plate is? If I remember correctly the pressure plate Mr. Bird got is one level below ACTs strongest/stiff plates. Idk anything about specialty Zs products unfortunately but I am willing to bet that they could be a little different I. Comparison? Just a thought though...

Yea I am sure they are different but at the end of the day a clutch is a clutch and I don't think down shifting with proper rev matching causes excessive wear. I am sure it causes some, but don't think it would cause the clutch to fail prematurely.
