KEP 200mm 6-Puck Clutch Disc — Streetable Performance, Sprung Hub | VW Air-Cooled (16-9899-0)

Kennedy Engineered Products (KEP) 200 mm 6-puck clutch disc — the more streetable of Kennedy's two 200 mm puck-style discs. The 6-puck pattern engages more progressively than a 4-puck (more friction surface, smoother on/off feel) while still providing a significant grip upgrade over a stock full-faced disc.

Application

• VW Type 1 / Type 2 / Type 3 with 200 mm flywheel
• Performance street, light off-road, autocross, weekend drag duty
• Pair with a KEP pressure plate (Stage 1 1700 lb or higher) sized to your engine output
• The right choice for built engines that still see street miles — livable engagement, won't beat up your transaxle on launches

6-puck vs 4-puck — which one

Puck-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. More pucks = more contact area = smoother progressive engagement and slightly less peak grab. The KEP 6-puck (this one) is the better balance of street manners and performance — you give up a bit of peak hookup compared to the 4-puck, but engagement is far more livable. If you only race and want maximum bite, the KEP 4-puck (16-9898-0) is the more aggressive choice.
