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.

 

Thats exactly what I thought of when I read the title to the thread.

 

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...!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes they came in a comp cams box part no 26918-16

 

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.

 

I remember that **** storm, just had no idea that the original 918 had an orange stripe. I dont know if the search will go that far back but its a lot of fucked motors from the original springs.

 

I didn't even double check, I had taken them out but didn't know that they had blue stripes on them. I bought them brand new, I hope I didn't get screwed. I'll get you a refund and do the research on my own. Let me know.

 

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.

 

I got these on ebay from a seller in April, and I never installed them or spring tested to verify spring rates. They looked new, and came in the 918 box. I was uneducated at the time when it comes to LS1 valvetrain, so I will try to resolve this with the original seller. =\

 

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
