A lot of people tell me that my lights are on all the time it could be because my car is impossible to drive normally and I have to keep the rear in check by tapping the brakes. I really think it's preference, driving style and you can be fast either way (or fast NOT)...
Sounds like you need to work on the setup... Perhaps start changing the springs twice a weekend instead of just once.

It could be that your brake light switch is stuck.
Anyone else employ the right-foot clutch technique? Takes years of practice...
