Default titanium spring retainers - worth keeping?

My H/C job is approaching 3 years - no issues at all!

I ordered and installed a set of double springs (REVs) with titanium keepers. I know they are the real thing since a magnet did not stick to them (I think that is how you tell the difference as I remember).

The keepers were very pricey - like $150.00!

Anyway, if I replace the springs should I just go with Comp 918s or are the pricey titianium keepers worth the effort to replace the original REV doubles springs?

Cam is mild 220/220 560/560

Or Aluminum!

I personally like the safety of a dual spring.

918s might not be much lighter if any tithout their own Ti retainer which will also cost plenty.

You can always sell the titanium retainers for the dual springs and use that cash towards the 918/titanium retainers combo.
