I haven't heard any horror stories about the new springs, i replaced my old 918's with the new ones a year ago. I had good service from Comp...would have been nicer if they paid for the swap but oh well.

Everyone pisses and moans about the new springs since there's been a few broken ones. What everyone fails to post up is their true installed height and that if they checked for coil bind. Everyone just thinks you can install a spring and run with it. Doesn't always work that way.......

You are right checking installed height and spring pressure is good practice.
What about the same type of people running PAC Beehives.I haven't read one failure report yet not saying its never happened just haven't read about it.
