    Default springs in clutch disk keep ripping out!!! 2nd time! please help!

    ok so to start this question off.... i own an acura integra gsr with a recently rebuilt motor, with 11:1 compression pistons.... it put down around 175 whp at mainstream. It also has a type r transmission... ok so to start off my question.... when i first bought the car, you could not change gears.... we took the tranny out... looked at the clutch and you could tell that the clutch springs in the clutch disk had been welded in... after they came out.... so i replaced the clutch with an act performance street disk and heavy duty pressure plate... about a year later a spring in the clutch ripped out...so i figured the pressure plate was fine... so i replaced the clutch disk with another act performance street disk....

    so now on fucking christmas eve.... this past thursday! about a year or so later the same fucking thing happened.... i got the tranny out... and the clutch spring was ripped out of the clutch disk.... is there anything i could possibly be doing wrong? could the clutch disk not be compatible with that pressure plate... also i have a act 12lb flywheel.... should i replace the pressure plate? it has about 60 thousand miles on it... i plan on selling this car in the next month or two... so i;m not trying to put anything expensive back in it... are there any good cheap reliable clutches that i can use? and are the compatible with that flywheel? thank you all for your help!

    Garbage clutch discs. Change manufacturers. Check out Competition Clutch. I don't know what their import stuff looks like, but I've been using them for some of my domestic stuff for about 5 years.
