My 212/218 needed no tuning at all. To this date I still have no tuning and it runs like a champ.

The 212/218 is the only one I would run with the 915 springs. I would run the 918's with either of the others.

I was told not to use the 915's in anything, to use 918's. This, by someone at Comp.

I've heard this as well. In fact I think someone said Comp wasn't even making the 915's anymore....but I'm not certain on that one.
