How can we give you advice when no engine was given let alone part numbers or parts? What engine? What cams? What is your goals/boost level? What what what??? Wow, just wow...

I don't see how that has any barring on the quality of these parts. I was asking for reviews on comp cam valve springs...

Thats like me asking if anyone has used an SS Autochrome turbo or just stick a with a Garrett.. then you asking what motor its gong on is it going on?

Look into Brian Crower's valve springs. They do steel retainers as well which can come in handy for a street car.

Clearly you have ABSOLUTELY no clue what you are even talking about. I don't even want to respond but your ignorance is astounding. What may work for one setup won't for another. Different part numbers do have reasons behind this. One manufacture may have a good design for one style engine versus not for another.

Different cams will require different seat pressures and coil bind. Just like higher boost levels accompanied by higher RPM will change the seat pressure required. People need to learn how to factor dynamic spring pressure. Nobody here can read your mind. The ignorant question you posted was just like asking if you prefer wheat or white toast. What style of each? Homemade or manufactured? Butter or not? Jam or jelly? Peanut butter?

Comp Cams is a decent company. They have had issues with Hondas. I assume you are installing some type of D, B, K, J, H, or F series into your ricer Civic and not some of the few SBC's I have seen floating around. Again, you come into the Forced Induction forum and ask "how are these valve springs?" Its not different than going into the Drag Racing section and asking "So, are those Mickey Thompson slicks any good?"
