It's like anything "You get what you pay for" Comp #26082 should last over a season

I use 947 comp springs 1.85 installed ht 400 lbs on the seat will set in about 380 to 360 will last me 2 years or about 300 plus runs on my 283 520 head. I shift at 9000 same in the lights. Camshaft and rockers ratio have a lot to do with it along with harmonics. Tom
