xe224/230 which springs comp recommends the 986. will this spring fit on stock heads. i want to install a spring that will handle this cam in the future, for now im only doin 1.6RRs.
ive heard
*the combination motor sports ex-612 suck
*the crane 10308 comes with cheap seats that look like a flat washer, and can cause spring walking. also its been seen that the washers crack
*the comps 986 and 987 require machining the heads.
which springs are direct replacements and will work with the crane spring compressor?

Just installed the 918 beehives with titianum retainers. Very easy install with the crane valve spring compressor. The hardest part is getting the fitting in the spark plug hole. 6 were easy and 2 were a pita. 
All in all it wasn't that bad at all. I'm running the same cam. They reved it on the dyno to 6500 with no problem.
