Default correct springs for this cam?

I finally decided on this stage 2 crower cam for my Y8 build
And upon reading it states that it requires single spring and titanuim retainers

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CROWE...spagenameZWDVW

Now I ordered these springs and retainers
Race Springs - D16 Engines
High-strength chrome silicon springs. 75 psi seat pressure for reliable performance up to 10,000 rpm.
Price - $174.95



retainers---> http://www.kmsengineering.com/info-lv2.asp?id=334

Will these work together or do I need to find something else

what is says is the MINIMUM required
Double springs can accept much more aggressive cams in the future.

you will be fine with stock retainers.
I had their springs and stage 2 NA cam using stock retainer. Ran fine for a whole two years with 8500 rev limit.
