Default best springs?

Which springs would be best for a cam on XE-R lobes that was about 230 .592? 918's? 921's? Crane duals? thanks

I run the Cranes and like them better than 918's.Need more miles on them to check longivity.

I would go with the Crane Duals.The springs performed flawless this weekend at the southern shootout.The springs were used on the Patriot LS6 heads.The TSP crew was the winner of Quick Stock.The car was at 7400 rpm all day long.It ran a 10.98 @122 in the final.

I have gone with the Comp 26921 duals they arrived last week. I went this way as most of the other springs are a compromise comp finally developed a dual with good lift and spring pressure for the LS1 motor specifically that doesnt require machining.
