Personally, I don't buy used valve springs. Their cost relative to potential damage is just too high. However, if you know the car they came from and the conditions under which they were run, and the deal is excellent, then that might be worth considering.

The other option is to just buy the 918's new if those are what you want, you can get them for $160 brand new.
