Patriot makes a dual spring good to .650" lift and MANY people on here use them. I have Comp 918 single springs on my .600" lift cam and no problems so far...knock on wood.
they have about 15k miles on them, but some idiot at turtle wax over reved the car a couple times trying to get it over the hump.
could there be anyway these things break without over revving the motor?

first thing to do is find out why they keep breaking. are these single or dual valve springs. maybe the spring height isn't right. maybe causing slight coil bind and over time tearinh the springs up. currently i've been using the vinci/crane dual springs on the wife's car for almost 11 months with no issues.
