Default valve seats and seals patriot dual spring kits

i have a 5.3 LH6 and befor i go in the cam swap process i saw that all valve seals have the same length ( i have the 8501 kit not the 8501-B) also the valve spring seats have two sizes wich one is right for me
the kit i have is this
Patriot Performance's Xtreme spring evolved from our Orginal Patriot Gold. The Xtreme spring is for power adder applications, heads using large valves, and for aggressive cam profiles.
These complete spring consists of 16 Patriot Gold dual springs, 16 titanium retainers, 32 Super 7 Machined locks, 16 .505" ID machined spring bases, and 16 viton rubber seals. This kit will work with both stock and aftermarket rocker arms. No cutting or machining of the stock spring pocket is needed.
and the 8501-B kit is

I quote your quote because it contains the answer:

The larger ID spring bases are for use with bronze guides.

This is correct. I was sent the larger ones by mistake one time. They were obviously too big for my stock heads. You need the .505"

The seals are different from the OE seals. Just take off the old seals and gently tap the new ones down. Length isn't a concern for these
