We replaced the starter again, just after 4 months when we did it earlier. The car runs awesome anyways. Is something making the starter go bad?

make sure you have a good battery and good connections at battery, block ground, and starter. does the starter make noise after it's running? you might need to shim it.. the pinion might stay stuck and over heat it. try a voltage drop test between the battery and starter wire while cranking. if there is a significant drop the wire is corroded and resistive.
