aftermarket STi clutch/flywheel

What aftermarket clutches/flywheels are you guys using in your STi's?

I'm mostly interested in not frying my clutch in about 9 months, w/o abusing it.
Also interested in not increasing pedal force too much over stock.

I'm currently running a 13.8 lb flywheel and an ACT HD Street Disc.
My last clutch, a CenterForce dual friction, melted under daily driving after about 4 months (12k mi). My ACT clutch seems to be doing the same thing.

There are some member reviews for a few clutch setups.

You might list some of the mods that affect power output on your car. These clutches usually have adequate torque-holding ability on lightly modded STis. In fact, many lightly modded STis survive even track (road course) days with the stock clutch.

Are you doing any drag racing in your car?

nope, my WRX is lightly modded
AccessPort stage 1 91 oct
Samco hoses
up-pipe
k&n
STi 6-MT
13.8 lb flywheel

The problem i'm having is that my last 2 clutches got fried in less than a year (28k mi) of regular spirited street driving, no slipping the clutch anymore than a second when starting from a stop. First clutch i fried was a centerforce dual friction, second is the exedy street disc. Neither were abused at all, no racing of any kind.
