I'm sure the stage 4 isn't the best for every day driving. You have a basically stock car, you should get a stage 2. The most important thing is figuring out why the hell this keeps happening. An unsprung disc will not break springs (duh) but it could break something else by removing the spring as the weakest link. I would suggest a stage 2 and have it installed at a different shop, or do it yourself. If you do it yourself, it will always be right. The shop could have side-loaded the disc when it was being installed by not tightening the pressure plate bolts properly, or they might not have properly repaired the trans. I'd talk to them.

Sorry, I'm posting it here, too:
What do you think, would a Stage II Kevlar hold up on a bolt on T/A with a 100-shot and ET Streets?

Thanks guys!

As far as a daily driver, the Stage 3 is NO problem with driving around, it is a little grabby, but nothing you won't get used to. I actually enjoyed mine, till the springs blew out of course.

Yeah, I heard about Stage III clutches shredding into pieces in some people's cars...
How did it happen? Clutch dropped at 6000 RPM ?

No clutch drops at all on this clutch, some nice hard shifts, and downshifts but thats it.
