918's come with orange stripes? I'm buyin them from another memeber, and they've got orange stripes ... are the 918's not blue stripes anymore? |
Also the stripe is not all the way down it just covers about 3 of the 7 springs per spring |
Will they say Comp cams on the bottom? |
I've got new 918's in a box waiting to install, blue stripe all the way down. No markings on the bottom of the spring. Mine have been sitting for about 8 months though and they could have changed their marketing in that time. |
The one's I have dont say comp cams on them. I opened up today for the first time since I purchased them. I hope these are what they say they are or else im going to have a big problemo. Here is the thread i got them from https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/543233-new-cc918-valve-springs.html |
are they in a comp box? according to the cam guide sticky the 03+ z06 springs have orange stripes. |
I'm not aware of any change in stripe color on 918's. Call Comp Cam and ask. Otherwise yeah 03 LS6+ springs are orangish. |

I bought a set of 918's in June and they still had the blue stripe. Did yours come in a Comp Cams box? Also is there a part number on the box? |
i got some comp 918's a few days ago and they are all blue stripe |
I talked to Shanon today from comp cam support. For the last 3 years the comp 918s have come with a blue stripe. I'm going to be needing a refund...!!!!!!!!!! |

Be Carfull! how long have those springs ben sitting around!? Three years ago lot's of people were having problems with the Comp 918's with the orange stripe! Springs breaking and all.Then comp came out with the blue stripe springs that were suppost to be the good one's. I'm suprized no one else that has been on this site over three years mentioned this. I definatly would not use those orange stripe springs. |

Refund made... These springs were sold to me as NIB 918's, apparently they aren't 918's, or an older model. Thanks for understanding Lawhorn. |

Hmmmm, I don't see a stripe on the ones I bought from Summit. They came new in the box. I checked them and the only thing was they measured about #100 pounds installed at 1.800". I have sinced shimmed them up another .060". |
