I think comp may have changed some of their beehive spring part numbers.

Get the 918's with 10 degree +.050" locks and retainers and the comp locators as well.

Can't remember the exact differences, but I think the 918's have higher spring rates.

On stock valves you almost have to run the +.050" locks.
