Default kms valvetrain any good?

hey anybody heard any good or bad things about kms valve springs and retainers. Just wondering if they are worth it. I think they are rated at 75 or 85 psi. I plan on using my jdm h22 cams for now but will upgrade in the future.

KMS beam polished rods side to side instead of top to bottom.. Thats is about the worst thing you can do to a rod.. Stay away from someone like that.. He also built 3 very high dollar pro motors for some people I know and neither of the teams got out off the line before their motors blew.. He ut in custom OS valves and never clearanced the pistons and the valves crashed as soon as he hit vtec.. PM member Gophast about it. also gtpcrew

Someone's been shopping on ebay!!
I use to use KMS dual springs and tit. retainers on some Comp cams stage 2's. Never had a problem but was always nervous about using mis-matching valvetrain
