Default Toda valve springs

I plan on replacing my valve springs with the Toda valve springs.

Does anybody know if the aforementioned valve spring will fit under a stock sized retainer, or do I need to get a special sized retainer to fit above the valve spring.

Toda's website doesn't clarify this.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Is that a question or statment? I do realize there is no question mark, but just want to make sure you are saying there is no fitment problem.

Thanks!

fits under stock retainers. but when replacing valvesprings, why bother use stock retainers? Get Ti retainers. That's what I have in my head. Toda valvesprings and Ti retainers.

I do plan on replacing my retainers with Ti retainers from REV. The REV Ti retainers are indentical in size to our stock pieces.

Thanks.

Cheap insurance Well I over revved (mechanically), while driving aggressively. So, I know I have damaged my retainers (only a matter of time before I drop a valve). I figured I would replace my retainers with Ti pieces, and while I was at it, upgrade my valve springs as well, since I was going to have the head off the car. I thought they (toda valve springs) were priced nicely at $400.
