the 918s are a darker metal, the stockers are more of the color of the valley, or the bare block color, with no clear coatings, dull in color.

Some older 918's didnt have the blue stripe. I would check the spring tension just to be sure.

What about these? I suspect these to be early LS6 springs.

"looks" like them, same metal lust, but the blue strip is usually fatter and longer, top to bottom.

Are the ones in the box brand new? What's the history on the ones that are already on the heads?
