| You will be better off with carbon plates from JHP. When and if you change the basket, make sure you get one with the highest ergal rating. This means it will be light as well as strong. I think there is a problem with some of the components fitted. It seams that you have excessive travel on the hub for the ball bearings to come addrift. You might want to take the whole lot to a reputable dealer / service center and get opinions. Spider spring could be knackered, was it real tight when you took the hub off.
If it wasn't then maybe it was not tightend correctley. When first installing a slipper. Once the std basket is removed, you will find a longish tube type spacer which has a O ring inside. You are asked to replace this with one supplied with the slipper. Not replacing this has an effect on the travel of the spider spring ( excessive).
BTW by putting a friction plate last, you are shortening the life of the pressure plate. The pressure plate being soft ally will be worn away by the friction plate.
