918's come with orange stripes?
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

Did yours come in a Comp Cams box? Also is there a part number on the box?

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.

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".
I bought my 918s on e-bay around april too, but i won't see the springs until i go home for thanks giving, sure hope i got a little blue stripe, cause i don't remember the guys E-Bay name. 67Firebird455 can you pm the guys name? Maybe it will ring a bell.
Thanks, sorry for the partial Hi-Jack
