Default Anyone using K-Motion k-700 valve springs

I was curious if anyone was running the k-700 K-Motion valve springs. I was able to find some people when searching who are using the k-800 valve spring but not the k-700. However, I feel that the k-800 valve spring is perhaps a little too much spring for my needs. So when looking at the k-700 specs and secondly price they seem to be a good fit. If anyone has run these or knows of someone who has please reply with their opinions on the spring's perfromance. By the way the springs will be paired with a 847 cam I have and I will have my redline set at 6,800. Thanks for any imput.

If the k-700 are a good product then I save $100 that I can put into other go fast parts. But if they are not a good product then by all means I will go with a different spring. So rather than speculating, I would prefer to get the real deal those who have used them.

I have just had my second stroker completed by a professional race engine builder. He installed a solid roller cam on my engine and used the K-Motion springs. I don't know which one's they are and I can't vouch for their performance because the motor is not in the car yet. I have been assured that they are top quality.

before anyone can bust my *****, I would like to do it myslef. After doing more extensive research on the k-700s they are only rated to .500 lift. Which is suprising to me based on the installed height of 1.8 minus coil bind height of 1.05 then minus .006 for clearence they should be good to over .600 lift. Better safe then sorry. Thanks for the input.
