Default M22 M22x cams in b18c1, gen1 or gen2 springs?

So I have read the old threads about the springs. There has been some contradicting opinions from some members. So I would like to ask people currently running this setup which generation springs they are running and if they have had any problems with it.

What I can gather is g1 is recommended but g2 is what people usually run. This setup is for my daily driver if that info is relevant.

Thanks for any info guys!

It would depend on how many miles you have on your rocker arms. If you have a good camera, you might also be able to send Rocket some pics for him to inspect.

GEN-1 springs have 95 lbs. on the seat and 265 lbs. at 12mm of lift. They can handle up to 13+mm of lift when used with our retainers.
GEN-2 springs have 55 lbs. on the seat and 180 lbs. at 12mm of lift. These springs can handle up to 14mm of lift.

Courtesy of a previous post. I think you would find a lot of people would recommend Gen2's base don those specs.
