i was planning to use the stock retainers on the swap, but after talking to comp and actually seeing how much slop there is when using the stock retainer with the 918's, i decided to go with the comp steel retainers. much better fit and zero slop.

I thought that had to do with springs.![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
