The old Comp R's are very good. PatrickG has used them with lots of success! They work great with adjustable rockers, but it's not required. You just have to get the correct preload. But I wouldn't use any made in the last couple years since they switched suppliers.
Check the classifieds...I have an un-used set of the old Comp R's still in the box.

I have a set that were installed in July 2005. Should I be worried about anything?? I haven't any issues to speak of yet.

Somewhere around mid-2006 they switched suppliers. So you're fine.
