so no horror stories on the atkins stuff huh? i am thinking about a combo deal, atkins apex seals, mazda springs and ra oring kit. i dont expect my motor to last forever but after seeing some of the damages from mere contact with the ra seals that seems like asking for trouble. the only real question i have is are the damaged motors that used ra seals using their springs or mazda springs? it seems that mazda got there stuff right with both the seals and the springs, but atkins seals are definately more economical and if i am going to be tearing it apart on a yearly basis i prefer the shorter bill, and ra's are even cheaper but the risk of internal carnage just from use has be skeptic. think i will order atkins in the morning.

Something about stock springs having an Inconnel content to them....
