[Tech] 16V Pressure Plate Q's - looking for a strong pressure plate for my'79 16V Scirocco

If you are going to be using a 4 puck clutch just be sure that you dont use 
a metallic disk. These will wear the pp and the flywheel out in no time. 
unless of course you plane on using this car for race only and have no 
prblem replacing clutches.
