With a 595/598 lift the 918 wont be enough. I would go with 921 the comp duels. The 921 is what is on my car, I ran the 918 with the LS6 cam and there good springs but when you start reving the motor in the RPM they wont be with that lift, they will be MAX OUT. Good Luck

You are pushing the limits of the 918 springs. I would go with a dual spring for that much lift. Just because they are rated at .600 lift, does not mean you should use them with a .600 lift cam. But yes they are rated @ .600 lift.

There are other things to consider. How are you going to drive the car?
