Default Anyone running Lunati Beehives?

They have a enhanced 75818 Valve spring good for .600 lift..
I talked to the rep,there clean metal and have been polished too..

I know Comp bought Lunati so this is confusing..
These springs are more money than the revised 918's?

Wonder who makes them
PSI or PAC?

We do. It's a 1518. Although they should have listed it as a .650" spring.

Lets just say that Comp has enough problems with there currrent supplier so they are sticking with us for Lunati.

Okay so this spring is yours...
Thanks Doug,I am happier now that I know that info..

They look to be a good spring,possibly your 1218 or 1518?The Lunati rep said dont waste your money or Ti retainers,told me I didnt need them since the CM one was only like 2 grams heavier....


Doug do u recommend the steel retainer too?

74818= 1218
75818= 1518

They should have listed the 75818 as a .650" lift spring but didn't.

Thanks Doug
I am running under .600 lift I think the 74 Series would be fine for me.
What about the CM retainers,are they fine for me too?

No, that beehive is not made by us. We do supply them, but not that particular spring.
