Default Springs for a 250-260 cam?

looking to possibly run a 25x-26x cam with a 64x lift. I was told the manley nextek dual springs will work good. What are your thoughts. Thanks

How widley(sp) available are replacement parts for the manley spring kit (springs and retainters) just in case you need another. Not saying anything bad about the manley springs, but comp is more readily accessible.

I used the retainers off my AFR heads for the manley springs. They are good springs, LME recommended them to me.

Comp 921's would work well for that cam as they have good seat and great open pressure and will be over .060" away from coil bind if installed at 1.800".
