I have Barnett replacement springs and have never had any clutch slip at all. I believe that Barnet clutches themselves though are a bit poo. There's loads on this if you search but the consensus was that the standard clutch was alright and as good as others (except the barnett) combined with the uprated springs.

Check the thicknesses of your steels and frictions because they may not need replacing. If they do, replace them with OEM ones. Clutch springs generally need uprating in BEC's and Barnett springs are the ones to go for. Available from PDQ amongst other places.

I would first check that your clutch cable isn't too tight,there should be 2mm play in the cable,when I first fitted my clutch cable I adjusted all the play out of it, was ok for a while but then started to slip and got worst,I was told to check for play in the cable and as soon as I adjusted play into it the clutch slipping dissapeared.
Failing that as above.

I've got a set EBC kevlar clutch plates, in a box never used if you'd like, for a reasonable price. Would fit C or E models. They come with uprated springs as well.

As above check the cable first though as this happened to me also on a track day once.
