Ya I like the piece of mind that they are factory parts that are made to last the life of the car. I have not had any problems with them just would like to compare the springs spected for a cam vs the ls6 ones. Anyone know where I could get this kind of info for my MTI T1 cam?

thats why you go with PAC springs over Comps new 918s, theyre the company that made Comps springs back when they were reliable.

Almost forgot to mention, I've been running LS6 springs on my daily driven truck for almost 20k with no problems...yes I have a baby cam, but I beat the **** out of my truck...daily. I get in it and go, every season, and we get every weather extreme here in Jersey. FWIW, the LS6 springs are made in Germany by the same vendor since their inception, not China, by the lowest bidder...

OK, so where is the best deal on the LS6 springs kit? You know, with retainers, locks, and all that fun stuff. Also, are the yellow and blue LS6 springs the same, or am I totally confused?

you can reuse your locks and retainers with the ls6 springs. SDPC has them but you might check some more of the sponsors to the right. You should be able to pick up a set for around 60 bucks, Might check over on tech as well.
