Anyone notice these springs make your motor sound like a pack of Singer sewing machines?

Have they found all of the bad units that were sold? Sorry to hijack but they scare the crap out of me and I really wanted to get them since I went FI.

From what i've heard the problem ones were durring early production a few years ago. I talked to a few knowledgable people that have ran them and they gave nothing but good reviews.

Stay away from the 918s. They are having big problems again. Check out the LS1GTO forum for a complete dicussion. Currently, certain batches of the springs are being recalled. Also, keep in mind that while the 918 is rated as a 600 lift spring, it should be operated at no more than 580 lift max.

Does anyone know where to find a list of suspected spring's production numbers? I have searched forums and the web; have found nothing.

Just got off the phone with Chris Mays @ Comp customer assistance. He checked the batch number for my springs and said they were produced in Feb. of 2007. Said they were fine. He went on to tell me the "suspect" problem ones were produced between Jan06-Aug06.

How do you determine when the springs were produced?

Called Comp and gave them the batch number located on the box the springs came in. They can tell the exact production month from that number.

Hogwash! I've noticed there was about 2 weeks of "OMG, I broke a spring!" Then, of course, the choir and the congregation joined the revelation. Then, as suddenly as it began, its over. Nary a peep in weeks. I have yet to see a recall. I have yet to see Comp post any bad batches. And all the big talkers have yet to offer any legit info. All the talking "at length" to Comp rep's has yet to produce one bad batch #. C'mon guys! Give us some hard facts! Otherwise, this whole "bad spring" thing is crap!
So, how was your day?
