Default Are Comp 918's rated at .600 or .625 lift?

I just bought a cam(228/234 .588/.599 112+2) and Now im going to order some springs. I was going to get patriot duals, but I have heard they are a bitch to get installed. But I also heard that the 918's used to be rated at .625 lift(Read Here For Info ) but they lowered it when their dual springs came out.

So are 918's rated at .600 or .625 lift?
ALso are patriot duals really that much of a pain to install?

Thanks Trevor

I heard they lowered the rating due to some breakage problems over .6"? I think they used to be rated higher there, but they decided to rate them on the safe side.

installed at the correct install height with the correct geometry they should be able to handle more then .600 lift.

the only springs to break were the old non-blue stripes.

Dual springs arent much harder to install then a single spring, only extra stepss are removing the old valve stem seal and seat, thats its. i'd go with the PP Golds.
