Default ACT clutches again

I've been reading through old posts about the act clutch kit and flywheel set up, which is the set up i have (2500miles on act clutch setup)

Almost every post complained about clutch buzz under decel, which i also have.
there where verious solutions offered. most of which suggested going back to the oem disc.

Does anyone have a definitive 100% solution to eliminate clutch buzz?

You sure it's a OEM disc? HTG sold both.

Every OEM disc I've replaced has been quiet compared to the 00-01 disc. Even with lightweight flywheels.

Or did ACT re-(what's the word.. re-pack?) OEM disks with ATC clutch material?
It's an OEM disk core, that's for sure.

I've seen several ACT discs built on OEM disc cores. That etched #'s may have been added by ACT. I can take a pic of a OEM disc later today.

I wish i had taken the pic of my two clutch discs with a camera and not my crappy phone, then u guys could see for yourself. even still though i dont know what model my stock clutch was. my s is a 2000 ap1, but the clutch was changed in 09 buy my honda dealership, just b4 i brought it. so im assuming it was an upgraded version.

spitfireS is that an oem clutch cause i can go check out my old one see if it matches. I do remember both clutches looking simular. but the pic i have on my phone of the ACT doesnt have the housing around the springs. could this be the cause of the buzz?
