they sent me a new set of springs no questions asked. im sure you'll get a free set of springs out of this, unfortunately that wont make it all better. now you have an excuse for a 408 or somethin else

sorry to see that. a lot of f body guys have lost their motors due to the 918's. Chris is no longer handling the warranty claims. Just call the warranty 800 # and they will take care of the springs, not that it really makes you feel any better. i will always use dual springs for that reason, well worth the $. good luck.

They are dark colored and have a blue stripe. The new ones are shot peened, frosty shiney, and no stripe.
