Default Patriot Gold springs question.

Does anyone know if I can use my stock steel retainers on the patriot gold duals?

No, stock retainers are for a beehive arrangement with a single spring and a reduced upper diameter. The duals will have two cuts in the retainer, one for the inner and one for the outer. Retainer fit is critical for spring life as well. The kit isn't much to start with, and they had a special going for the holiday, not sure if it is over.
