Are you swapping your stock cam for an aftermarket cam? If not then don't do it as it's not necessary and you might end up losing power as the 918s are stiffer than the stock springs. The stock valvesprings can easily handle the measely lift of the stock cam.

Default oh yeah

there is only one reason to keep stock springs you may have an endless supply of pushrods or your best friend works at a dealership.918s are the best insurance u can get if you like your motor.
