cmotorsports tn224xl cam and EX Components 612-16 valve springs

I bought these from a member on this board and found out it's about 4 yr old, infact cmotorsports is not even around anymore, it's now called Nevares Racing Products with new owners. I was just wondring if anyone else is still using the combo. It looks like it a CC 503 with 1.6 RR, and I can't find a thing on the springs except on this site from 2003.
Thanks

Personally I'd never run those springs. I had a buddy locally run them with no problems, but I read about lots of bad stuff on them here.

There are a few bad things about the springs but, things MASS Produced are bound to fail. I also see Loyd E. used them at one time, so they can't be all bad.

I used them at one time and had no problems for a long time and then BAM, I saw several break on mild cammed cars so I stopped using them all together.

I now use the Crane 10308-1 dbl spring/retainer/lock kit as a 'budget" spring for customers not wanting to spend $$$ on the bee hive.

Thanks Lloyd!! I think I will try these as this is the only summer I am going to run them. I've got another block, and next winter I'm going 383 with a your heads and cam.
