Default Springs Comp or Crane?

Is Comp worth the $175.00 extra over the Crane, or is this just another "waste of money" product?

Comp 918's unless you need duals then go with the Cranes. I hear a lot of good things about Patriots dual springs but have only had experience with the Crane duals.

if its the X4 your looking at i'd opt for the 921's over the cranes. if you run the cranes you'll need to shim .030 (i believe) to get adequate seat pressure.

The Crane valve springs are great and they cured the harmonics problem I was having with a set of PRC duals. However, I am using .060" shims with them as recommended to me by Crane.
