Default I can change a spring with my eyes closed...

I first bought 941's with my T1 cam kit from MTI back in 2001, I now have K-motions. They both break. I can change a valve-spring with my eyes closed now. Its almost like changing the oil. What springs should I try next? I would like to reuse the lunati titanium retainers I bought with the kit. I used them with the K-motions as well.

Will I be able to reuse these retainers with the latest recommended springs? Either the Crane Cam springs or the CC 918's? Is there another type of spring I should be using.

BTW... I still have the stock heads
