What? The blue stripe insures that the springs are the new batch and I think you'll have a hard time finding anyone with a "blue stripe' failure. In fact we took the ones off of Jason99TA's heads that were on there for quite a while with our TR230 cam and many passes over a 7000rpms. When tested they were still fine. I'm not sure what your vendetta is aganist Comp but that is the only 1.25" spring we use and to date we haven't had a single failure. I would rather trust a company like Comp then some off brand imported from who knows where spring. Just my own opinion though.

Really? ...I heard the blue stripe ones were the bad batch...

...I would play it safe and avoid all Comp springs....that way you know you won;t run into a bad batch....I heard there are inventories of unsold bad springs from the bad batch that have not been sold yet....apparently, they have not been officially recalled .....they are a ticking time bomb....

My advice - STAY AWAY from COMP springs!

Comp realized there was a QC issue with some of the 26918 springs. They remedy this by implementing a much more stringent QC on the springs and marking them with a blue stripe to ensure they are not defective. ALOT of people have run the 918s hard (I know I have and I have pre-blue stripers on mine). Alot better than the days of randomly-breaking single springs. I'll keep my LS1-specific spring design thank you very much

I have almost 14 months and about 16000 miles on my pre-bluestripe 918's and they seem to be holding up just fine with my little T1 cam.

Similar to above, I've got about 15 months and 17k miles on pre bluestripe (also pre bad batch) 918s holding strong with a T1.
