Replace valve springs on stock heads/cam?
Hey folks -
I plan to have my valve seals changed and a set of comp 1.6 rr's put in this summer.
I don't plan on upgrading the stock heads/cam on my L98 in the future either, so I'm wondering if i should change the stock stamped valve springs to some new ones of the same factory size or not even bother at all.
Not too worried about valve float, but I figure since they are out why not.
Is there a brand/part # y'all can recommend if I should?

The car has only 60K miles on it, but I guess they are 15+ years old as well.
I do recall reading the stockers are pretty weak.

Can somebody tell me which of these two Comp springs would be the best to go with?
983-16 or 981-16?
The diameter, spring rate and valve spring style are slightly different on each.
Also, are retainers and locks a must as well?
10 degree? Part #'s?
Thanks!
