    you can freshen those steels up with a bit of sandpaper on a flat surface in a figure eight motion , dont sand them to much just lightly,check for warpage using a flat surface, also try to buy some vesrah or barnet heavier springs 10% should do it they used to be about $20 a set, if your broke you can sometimes preload the spings with a washer or similar as an alternative to heavier springs, i used to make the washers from scratch to get a good fit , watch for coil bind tho.

    and lastly stop clutching it trying to pull wheelies

    I did notice the springs had gouged grooves into the metal chambers they sit in...? Is that bad?

    Cheers for your help!

    As long as its not binding on the sides or too deep on the ends its ok, might pay to check for notches where the clutch steel and fibre fingers sit too
