Where are you getting your starters from?

Also check all your connections to and from the starter to the battery, check grounds first. Start with the very basics, make sure no wires show corrosion in or on them. It sounds elementary but you would be surprised what we find when servicing vehicles.

Check your battery and make sure it doesn't have a bad cell, even newer batteries can do that.

My 05 evo has 272 cams, and I always thought that it was my car, not my battery, it always had a slow crank, got a better battery and problem was solved.

However if you are having a no crank, no start condition it could be a lot of things, ignition switch, starter, loose terminal to a battery even.

I second the bad starter idea. Usually the $100 Autozone starters are junk after a short time.

check your alternator fuse, if that's blown your alternator isn't charging your battery while you drive, had this happen to a friend of mine, we changed the battery and alternator and still wouldn't start til finally we checked the fuse for the alternator and found it blown, 4 dollar part was all it was

So what do you have in the way of a stereo and security system? Asking as these can cause a constant drain... which sounds like what you have to me. Find someone with some electrical know how and have them make a determination if you have active power when the ignition is off. My guess is something is staying on.
