Default valve springs and cam

Hey guys ive got an 00 Z M6 and im going to be putting a large cam in my car propbably a 231/237 on a 112 w/ 590 lift and im thinking about using manley dual springs w/titanium retainers is this spring kit tought enought to handle daily driving and is it comproable to comp 921 spring kit
P.S. I may be going as big as 237/242 on a 114 w/a .609 lift would the manley kit hold up to this and how long?

For a complete reasonably priced kit PP "gold" good to .650 lifts
or PRC kit good to .660 lifts.

MTI likes to use Manleys and their reputation speaks for itself.

PP is Patriot Performance
PRC is Precision Racing Components.

The PP kit is more complete. ~$265

I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

patriots, prc, comp 921 are all good. The patriots and prc are prob. the best value b/c the comps are kinda expensive.
