Make sure the pressure plats fit on correctly before tightening the bolts. It will only seat properly in a few different positions. If it is wrong pull it out and rotate it until it is right. You will know as it with sit in cleanly on the last friction plate installed.
A lot of fellows have got it wrong including a few on here and ended up breaking the pressure plate trying to tighten the bolts on it.
The bolts only require 6Nm torque and are easily over tightened and strip the threads in the clutch boss. Best to use a torque wrench.
Reusing the old steel plates is fine, and yes, soak them in engine oil for an hour or so first and wipe off the excess before fitting. I used the same EBC kit and it is working well
