Default Clutch cable stretching

Ok i recently did a B16a2 swap in my car and it has a GSR Hydro tranny on it so i got the Hasport cable to hydro conversion kit thinking everything should be fine. So far this is the second cable I've replaced because it keeps stretching. I did a couple online searches trying to see if theres a way I can prevent this from happening. Some people say its the hasport kit. Does anyone know if theres another kit that won't cause it to stretch or any clutch cables that are stronger?

what clutch are you running? if you are running like a stage 3+ or something like that, you should do one of 2 things: downgrade your clutch so you stop breaking cables, or upgrade your clutch release bearing system to be fully hydraulic. Tilton makes all the gear you need to do it.

its all about using the right parts for the job. a stage 3 doesnt belong in a car under 400 hp.. and if you have more than that, well, you should know that a cable clutch is not the way to go.

The first cable i had was OEM and it stretched really bad in like days after the swap. The one on there now is the one that was made for the B-series in the EF (so basicly its a OEM CRXsiR cable) but if this one gets any worse i'll try then integra cable and see who it works.
