Question need help from you valve spring gurus

I need to replace my valve springs. I have tfs215 heads. running a cam 238/242 .605/.610 114lsa. I want springs that will use the tfs retainers but will be overkill as far as lift since this is a street driven car and i want these springs to last a long time. I am also open to suggestions for other complete spring and retainer kits. My main thing is i want the springs to work great and last! Thanks!

I am curious to hear the results on this. I pulled valve covers last night and found the second broken valvespring on my TFS factory assembled heads. motor has less than 10k miles on it.

What's the stock TFS215 springs good for lift wise?

I sold my used TFS215 and new owner wants to install .648" lift camshaft. I could not find spring max lift although I done a search.
