if you are staying with the same rev limit, you will be safe for a little while. But if you want to take your rpm's just a little higher i would replace them.

if anything just to be safe, i would run a set of inner springs (stock or aftermarket)

the stock outer and stock retainers with the help of some inners work perfect and last a long time..

I have a first gen b17 head. Its LS/VTEC but its balanced with King race bearings. I still will never rev over 8500. Even 8200rpm is pushing it. So if I can get away with stock valve springs I will.

my b16a has itr cams with stock springs and retianers and they pull really hard all the way to 8200 rpms (stock rev. limit) i dont plan on reving any higher then that so u should be fine on stock springs and retianers just keep it around stock rev. limit
