Default comp cam springs reliable?

Hi guys, I'm doing a B16 N/A build. I have comp cams 57200(stage 2 cams), that came with their B-series springs. I'll be using skunk2 ti retainers with the set, but my question is ,if anyone knows how reliable the springs are. I know they aren't popular, but if I dont need to buy new springs I'll work with them. Thanks

It is safer and typically more reliable to use springs and retainers from the same manufacturer because they are DESIGNED to fit with each other. I would recommend you examine the contour of the Skunk2 retainers carefully and compare those measurements to the inner and outer Comp springs.

Comp cam springs Inner 23mm outer 30mm. Skunk2 retainers inner 22.5 and outer 27mm. Looks like it will work out fine.
