    Comp 918 Springs

    So I was doing some looking around on here last night and could not find a good answer to this question so I'll ask it. Are the Comp 918 valve springs good springs for a DD or should I look for something else? I read they had a bad batch a while back that was prone to breakage, but I also saw several people who never experienced a single problem. If they fixed the problem it sounds like the spring I'll need, if not it's back to the search.

    Are you looking at them as a replacement for the stock springs and keeping the stock cam or as an upgrade along with a bigger cam?
