PAC 1518's w/ LSL cam lobes, OK?

I've been waiting on a PAC 1521 valve spring kit, but I need to get my car back together soon, so would PAC 1518's work perfectly fine with LSL lobes w/.617" lift (I can get them tomorrow) ?

They would work if shimmed properly, but this would reduce their lifespan.

I've used them with LSL lobes and haven't had any issues (not shimmed).

The PSI 1511 beehive spring will also take an LSL lobe no problem, and it's a single spring as well.

Depends on weight of valves though as well. I would go with a spring like the 26926 or 1521 or PRC EHT or similar etc. as the 1218 is kind of marginal for anything heavier than normal with that lobe. Even then it needs to be set up correctly as well.
