Default Can I just change springs?

I have about 8000+ miles on my Isky springs with Titanium retainers and seats.
Since they are a single spring I have thinking about upgrading to the Patriot Gold Duals. Can i just buy the springs and reuse the seats and retainers?

Thanks Ben

the patriots comes as a complete kit. and unless the isky retainers and seats share the same O.D as the patriots you cant use them

No you can't but as JRP said, The Patriots come compete with Springs, TIT Ret, new seats, new valve guides.

A very nice setup.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. It is smarter just to buy the whole kit.

I guess I will just keep the old stuff in a box just in case.
