33 Should I change to a racing clutch?

A:In most cases a racing clutch ("4 puck") is really not
needed for street or Autocross uses. VW clutches can
easily handle well above stock power. For example, a 16V
210 mm GTi clutch is good to 160 bhp. Furthermore, racing
clutches are very harsh (like, all or nothing) and much
stiffer to depress. One of the more agreeable changes is
to use a stronger pressure plate with a stock clutch
disc.
