no they are the patriot dual golds....the ones rated to 650' lift.
i cant see it being the springs failing...the 918's arent rated to a high enugh lift for me i dont think....im putting 921's in it.

the part of the springs coming out is where it tappers down at the top and bottom. if the spring was at fault id think it would rack in the middle since this part does really even move.

I'm not too familar with patriot duals. But I can tell you that when the 918s break (and they often have in the past), many times the break is at the end and not the middle.

i bought the springs from speed inc and had them shipped to my house....they didnt come in any kind of package that said patriot or comp or anything....i hope to god they wouldnt do any thing like that....(which i highly doubt they would)

when the springs came to my house they were in a cardboard box...when when i opened it they where in a plastic container also.....i cant blame this on shipping or speed inc....they were shipped very well and for a VERY good price! i think they were installed wrong... i wish i would have done it on my own!
