after you run those patriots for awhile pull them off and check static height and pressure. saw a post on another forum that showed some severe sagging and pressure change on the dual springs that some of the popular retailers sell. cheap springs are cheap for a reason.

Man, I sure hope the 918's that went in my truck Friday are going to last...
What kind of lift/duration are these people running when they're breaking 918's? I'm running a TR224 because it's a little lower lift and should be "easier" on these springs. My buddy with a X1 cam and a POS motor somehow still has his new 918's in one piece *knock on wood*

i have around 20,000 miles on my stock springs with my mods listed below and most people with 918s cant even put a few thousand on them...... not saying i am the sharpest tool in the shed
i just refuse to spend money on parts that have not proven worthy and fail. i have had ls6 springs in the garage ever since the cam change but didnt put them in due to time restriction, and never changed them because there has been some horror stories about them too. note: they will be changed to duals when i put my heads on.....some day.

Here is a thread you should read. Starts with the old style failing and turns to the new style faling. Moral of the story comp springs fail. I know it is a link to another site but, I figured it would help with the question at hand.
