Hi,
I have a couple of suggestions.
If you drive the car hard racing starts etc. it is worth fitting a half set of double clutch springs.
It increases clamp pressure but is still OK for road use.
The other thing I do when changing the linings is to put some gasket goo on all the rivets where they pass through the flywheel.
This will prevent oil going through the rivet holes as it gets spun out of the rear main bearing and the onto the clutch linings.
( I discovered this by having to take the engine out not long after new linings had been fitted, oil had just started to soak the lining around the rivets )
I now use a lip seal on the crank rear main as well, this needs to have a speedy seal fitted to the flywheel to stop the new seal being torn up.
