Default PRC dual springs on AFR heads ?

Does anyone know if the PRC dual springs from Texas-speed will work with the retiners that come with the AFR heads? After 10,000 miles one of the inner springs broke and I would like to replace with the PRC springs if they can work with the AFR supplied retainers.
Thanks

Since the AFR springs and the PRC springs are made by the same company and are pretty much identical, they are interchangeable. Buy them fro whoever sells them for the cheapest: PRC, Patriot, Manley, AFR...all are the same dual spring (some with different finishes on the outside).

What are you running, curious as to why the spring broke.

I have a 212/218 high lift comp cam with slp 1.85 rocker arms, only about 2500 miles with the slp rocker arms.
