I use the 918 beehive springs with my 1.6 rockers. They are rated for at least 0.600 lift.
I called Comp Cams and told them my engine specs and goals, they built a custom grind for me and sold me the entire spring kit, titanium retainers and all. Very pleased with the results.

LOL, good one. I was thinking that myself.
I believe the 915 and 918 springs are indentical in dimensions. One just has more pressure than the other. Double check the max lift though to be sure they can handle the cam liftwise, which I think comes out to .540

springs

What is the max lift lift on those springs and can you use the stock retainers for those?

Max lift is .600 and yes will work with stock retainers.....I think. Best to call. I've used these for years with a CC305 and 1.6rr.
