I'm wondering if it's about time to swap them out or upgrade them.
How many miles do you think I've got left on these bad boys?

Looks like a lot of heat evidence. Warpage in the disk plate. You will have trouble getting a clean release. Shifting issues will become a problem. I would shake the disk and see if the coil springs are loose at all. If the springs move, you definitely need to replace the set.

Clutch upgrades will not help heat related issues. Too much slip causes heat. No clutch will enjoy heat. Do you have sticky tires?

My guess/suggestion is you should look at your launch technique.

Yup, it's definitely seen too much heat/slippage. I wouldn't put those back an my car, or any other car for that matter. It's already out, replace with new and or upgraded set up.

That disk is not warped, those are the marcel springs that are part of oem clutch disks, and most aftermarket street clutch disks. Nothing wrong there.

It does look like it has been rather hot and the disk is worn on the outer edge. I would replace it.
