They'll be good 'til they break. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I'd switch to cc918's. Maybe try forcing a return to Comp for a discount.

Um... NO! Those XE-R lobes will kill those springs in no time flat! Go with the 918's

Please exuse my ignorance, for I haven't been following this whole spring thing. Are the 918's a stronger spring than the 941's? I'm considering switching to the 918's with my B1 cam. Is this something I should really consider, or are the 941's fine for the B1 cam?

I already have a new set of 941`s in the car with a B1 cam. Ive heard the stories of them breaking but Ive ran them for over a couple years with different cams and havent had ANY issues. Breaking one isnt a issue with me. I think alot of guys that broke some had some other issues. Im more concerned with pressures and coil bind,just didnt wanna go into all that if someone already has.

Hey are you using my j581 cam? Looks like it - I'm running the 918's on mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Have you already bought the cam?

There have been lots of problems with the 941s, 918s are even questionable with XER lobes.
