Default Alternate LS7 pressure plates?

Guys I've had nothing but problems with my LS7 clutch for a while now. I've gone though 2 master cylinders and 2 slave cylinders chasing the problem. I have concluded I have a defective pressure plate. I do like the way the ls7 disc drives and would like to keep it. I'm running the LS7 clutch with LS2 flywheel, what options do I have for a better pressure plate?

Am I dreaming? Is there not another pressure plate to run with the ls7 disc?

If I was you, I'd call a sponsor on here to get a better idea of whats out there. Most people don't have problems with the ls7 pressure plate....

There have been numerous problems involved with the LS7 SAC pressure plate. If you don't look for them you won't find them, but when you look they pop up. Maybe most don't have problems, but I do

So is there another pressure plate available for the LS7 disc or not?

I haven't seen a non SAC LS7 style pressure plate. I bought the SPEC LS7 SAC pressure plate and ran into the same problems I had with the stock LS7 pressure plate. That is, sticky pedal. I'm sick of the problems so I am going to a twin. Just bought a used Exedy twin off ebay. Hopefully once I get it cleaned up and rebuilt, my problems will be gone.

I just wanted to update this. After a few weeks of daily driving and about 300 miles of freeway driving the SAC pressure plate must have readjusted itself. I had the cruise set @ 70 mph for about 100 miles and as soon as I took my exit I noticed my pedal had stiffened up a little. I have not really tried to shift at high rpm for a while since I knew I would be pulling the clutch. Well I tried banging the gears and the car shifts like it did when I first installed the clutch. Seems to be working great now, but I bet when I go to the track it will not shift haha
