? about crane dual springs

I was thinking of getting some comp 918s, but some say they are not reliable and wear out after couple thousand miles. I found these crane dual springs...heres the link

they are not the 1.290 that the ls1 needs, but 1.275" in diameter
Ya'll think they'll still work

It's best to install these at 1.740" installed height to increase pressure. Depending on the cam lobe profile, these have been known to allow valve float at the upper end when installed at 1.800".

I think i might go with the ...198-8401 patriot kit...thunder racing has it with titanium retainers, locks, seals and dual springs for $ 265...that honestly sounds too cheap with those retainers
