I'll be in the market for a clutch kit in a little while, but it's for a street car and I don't need anything that'll be an overkill. However, if the price is right, I'd be interested.

I would imagine that clutch is very on or off, no slipping, making it very hard to get going for some people. Not to be the devil's advocate, but I routinely deal in 996TT's making 700-800hp, and puck clutches in them are not easy to drive for the average person trying to drive on the street. Just curious, I have never driven a 951 with a puck clutch like that.
I would say that it is DEFINITELY the best disk available for a 951 right now. Slightly easier grab with bronze(over copper), noise reduction with the springs, lighter weight with 6 puc, heat tolerance with ceramic......nothing could beat this.
You can use this disk with ANY combination of Porsche or aftermarket parts - and you will recieve improved performance.

Lart - I ordered the 6 button “Quick Lock” solid hub disc, which I was under the impression had ceramic/copper pucks, but regardless of whether its copper or bronze, I shouldn't have any slippage issues with the KEP 2 PP. If the GB is viable, and the price is significantly lower, I can try to cancel my order and join the GB.

Lart let me know when you have more onfo on costs.
Last I saw, ClutchNet didn't make pressure plares for our model of car, if that has changed, lets get that added. Otherwise a PP will have to be sourced elsewhere. I'm not worried about the flywheel.

So what exactly is the difference between the feel of a stock clutch and this one? -PPL with experience... I am interested but I don't want a stall or burn out type clutch if you know what I mean.
