Do the retainers need to be replaced when you change the valve springs? i've heard they dont and i've heard they do.

It also depends on what spring you get. Some use after-market retainers and other you can use the stock ones.

Locks or retainers. I'd say go for new retainers.....preferably titanium....the locks can be reused if they're compatible with the retainers.
comp 918 springs

i think you can use the stock retainers one those spring, but dont hold me to that.
I just finished my spring swap a while ago,have fun buddy!!what tool are you going to use,i recommend the crane cam valve tool.it worked great for me.o yea i used the stock retainers as well.
I thought most of these spring packages came with retainers???? (but not locks)
