Im going to guess 1218's.
You actually can do it but I would not recommend it. The 1218 and 1518 have the same solid height. The reason the 1518's can run 650 compared to the 600 the 1218's can run is because they are nitrided. The nitriding process strengthens the exterior of the wire enabling the spring to compress more without hurting it.

Ummm .612 > .600, so...NO, not unless your comfortable with eating the expense of an engine failure instead of just buying the right springs for the job. Typically the springs go for less than the rebuild.
