Well, the story goes that Comp changed suppliers last year and now allot of people are having problems with them breaking, and since it's a single spring, dropped valve = toasted engines. Comp said they fixed the problem, but that is yet to be proven, also there does seem to be rebadged or just the bad springs still floating around. So to me, I'd stay far away.
Also, the beehives are rated to 600 lift so the 306 or 847 with 1.6 rockers are pushing the limits of the springs as well. I perfer double springs rated to 650, keeps you further away from bind plus the saftey if you break the spring you have a better chance the valve will not drop. This means getting your heads machined, but it a few dollars well spent!
