The 4-puck pattern grabs harder and faster than 6-puck or full-faced discs, making it the go-to choice for drag launches, sand drag, and competition use where on\/off engagement is acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Type 1 \/ Type 2 \/ Type 3 with 200 mm flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrag racing, sand drag, off-road competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with a KEP pressure plate (Stage 1 1700 lb or higher) sized to your engine output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot recommended for daily street use — engagement is much more abrupt than a stock disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e4-puck vs 6-puck — which one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePuck-style discs replace the full friction surface of a stock clutch disc with a smaller number of pads (\"pucks\") bonded to a sprung steel hub. Fewer pucks = less contact area = more aggressive on\/off engagement and higher peak grab. The KEP 4-puck (this one) is meant for engines and drivers who launch hard and want maximum hookup. If you want a more streetable feel with still-significant grip upgrade over stock, the KEP 6-puck (16-9899-0) is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMPI Part #: 16-9898-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKennedy Reference: 132004PDR01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuck count: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprung hub (absorbs driveline shock during engagement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 707924489040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Kennedy Engineered Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKennedy has been building performance clutches for air-cooled VWs since the 1970s and remains the reference brand for serious engine builders.
